Abstract

Summary An authenticated group key agreement protocol allows participants to agree on a group key that will be subsequently used to provide secure group communication over an insecure network. In this paper, we give a security analysis on a pairing‐free identity‐based authenticated group key agreement because of Islam et al. We show that the protocol of Islam et al. cannot satisfy the minimal security requirements of the key agreement protocols. We propose an efficient pairing‐free identity‐based authenticated group key agreement for imbalanced mobile network. The proposed protocol can be implemented easily for practical application in mobile networks as it is free from bilinear. Under the difficulty of the InvCDH and CDH we demonstrate that the proposed protocol provides perfect forward secrecy, implicit key authentication and the dynamic functionality. As compared with the group key agreement protocols for imbalanced mobile network, the proposed protocol provides stronger security properties and high efficiency.

On the security of an identity-based authenticated group key agreement protocol for imbalanced mobile networks.

Haiyan Sun

Recently, Islam and Biswas proposed a pairing-free identity-based authenticated group key agreement protocol for imbalanced mobile networks. However, in this letter, we point out that this protocol cannot resist passive attack, and cannot provide forward secrecy for joining operation and backward secrecy for leaving operation.

A pairing‐free certificateless authenticated key agreement protocol

Debiao He, Jianhua Chen, Hu Jin

SUMMARY Many certificateless two‐party authenticated key agreement schemes using bilinear pairings have been proposed. But the relative computation cost of the pairing is approximately twenty times higher than that of the scalar multiplication over elliptic curve group In order to improve the performance we propose a certificateless two‐party authenticated key agreement scheme without bilinear pairings in this paper. A security proof under random oracle model is also provided. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Perfect Forward Secure ID-based Key Agreement Protocol in Group Communication

Pengshuai Qiao

Several identity-based key agreement protocols using bilinear pairing have been proposed in recent years and none of them has achieved all required security properties. In this paper, we firstly propose an ID-based one round authenticated group key agreement protocol with bilinear pairings, where all participants can generate the group session key in one round. Based on the intractability of elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem, every user’s private key can be proved to be secure. Also an extended version of one round authenticated group key agreement protocol is given, it provide perfect forward secrecy and avoid key escrow by the Key Generation Center.  Finally, a comprehensive security analysis and a comprehensive security analysis are provided. By comparing with other protocols, the proposed protocol requires lower computation cost.

AD‐ASGKA – authenticated dynamic protocols for asymmetric group key agreement

Mingchu Li, Xiaodong Xu, Cheng Guo +1 more

Abstract Asymmetric group key agreement is a cryptographic primitive allowing a group of users to negotiate a common public encryption key while each of them holds a different secret private decryption key. Anyone (including outsiders) with the public encryption key can send encrypted messages to the group members, and then the group members can decrypt the messages. Authenticated key agreement protocols authenticate the identities of users to ensure that only the intended group members can establish a session in which the group members can communicate with each other. Dynamic asymmetric group key agreement concerns about the scenarios such as ad hoc networks in which the group members may join or leave at any given time. In this paper, we propose a one‐round authenticated dynamic protocol for symmetric group key agreement. For efficiency reasons, we employ the identity‐based public‐key cryptography (IB‐PKC) to authenticate users rather than the public key infrastructure and the certificate‐less public‐key cryptography. Our analysis shows that the proposals in the paper can resist active attacks and meet many desirable security attributes. Besides, our protocol allows users to join or leave the group at the same time. Furthermore, our protocol is round‐optimal and has a quite good performance as compared with previous works.

A novel ID-based authenticated group key agreement protocol using bilinear pairings

Lung-Chung Li, Yao-Pin Tsai, Ru‐Sheng Liu

Recently, several ID-based authenticated group key agreement (AGKA) crytosystems based on bilinear pairings have been proposed. It is an increasingly active research area because of the simplicity of the public key management and the efficiency. However most of the group key agreement protocols have the security and performance weakness. In this paper, we propose an authenticated group key agreement protocol with perfect forward secrecy that requires only one round without verifying signatures. We show that our scheme satisfies all known security requirements, and therefore it is more secure and efficient than other protocols.
