An Efficient Tripartite Identity-Based Authenticated Key Agreement Protocol
Xiaotong Fu, Shufang Guo, Ruijun Shi · 2013
In this paper, the tripartite identity-based key agreement is investigated. Inspired by designated verifier signature schemes, a tripartite identity-based key agreement protocol with explicit authentication is proposed with the good authentication of signatures. The new protocol can achieve remarkable security properties, such as perfect forward secrecy and unknown key share. More theoretically, the security proving of the protocol is given in the random oracle model under the Bilinear Diffie-Hellman assumption. The efficiency of the protocol is lying on that three parties can establish an agreed session key after only one round of message exchange. Detailed efficiency analysis compared with other protocols is also made.
