Provably secure key exchange: an engineering approach

Yiu Shing Terry Tin, Colin Boyd, Juanma González Nieto · QUT ePrints (Queensland University of Technology) · 2003

We promote an engineering approach to design of provably secure key exchange protocols. Using the model of Canetti and Krawczyk we present a systematic method to arrive at e#cient and practical protocols with proven security and illustrate its use with existing building blocks. We further show a dual approach which allows protocols with known features to be `reverse engineered', thereby allowing easier security proofs and providing new building blocks for future designs.
