Authenticated Key Exchange Protocols with Enhanced Freshness Properties.
Hai Huang, Zhenfu Cao · 2009
In this paper, we investigate the security model for authenticated key exchange protocols. We observe that there is further room to extend the latest enhanced Canetti-Krawczyk (eCK) model. We further enhance the freshness definition for the threepass authenticated key exchange protocols such that our new definition gives the adversary more capabilities. We point out that the three-pass authenticated key exchange protocols generically transformed from the two-pass authenticated key exchange protocols secure in the eCK model can not be secure in our new security definition. We then introduce a new authenticated key exchange protocol SIG-DH + and prove that it satisfies our new definition.
