Abstract

The Canetti-Krawczyk (CK) model is a formalism for the analysis of keyexchange protocols, which can guarantee many security properties for the protocols proved secure by this model. But we find this model lacks the ability to guarantee key generation center (KGC) forward secrecy, which is an important security property for key-agreement protocols based on Identity. The essential reason leading to this weakness is that it does not fully consider the attacker's capabilities. In this paper, the CK model is accordingly extended with a new additional attacker's capability of the KGC corruption in Identity-based systems, which enables it to support KGC forward secrecy.

Enhancing CK-Model for Key Compromise Impersonation Resilience and Identity-based Key Exchange.

Abstract. In 2001, Canetti and Krawczyk proposed a security model (CKmodel) for authentication protocols. They also gave an indistinguishabilitybased definition for key exchange protocols. Since then the model has almost exclusively been used for analyzing key exchange protocols, although it can be applied to authentication protocols in general. The model not only captures a large class of attacks but also provides a modular approach to the design of authentication protocols. However, the model does not capture the property of Key Compromise Impersonation (KCI) Resilience. Until now, analysis concerning this property has mostly been done heuristically and restricted to key exchange protocols only. Previous attempts on formalizing KCI have mostly been done in some ad hoc manner and additional proofs have to be given specifically for the security of KCI resilience. In this paper, we propose an extension to the CK-model, which allows, for the first time, the KCI attacks to be considered in authentication protocols in general, rather than restricted to key exchange protocols, and no more additional proofs are required specifically for KCI security. With the revival of interest in identity-based (ID-based) cryptography, there have been many new ID-based key exchange protocols proposed. Despite the fact that some of them have been proven in some restricted versions of a model proposed by Bellare and Rogaway in 1993 and some others have been proven in the original CK-model, there is no rigorous model specifically for ID-based key exchange security. In particular, forward secrecy against compromised Key Generation Server (KGS-FS) has never been captured even though this notion is more important and stronger than the perfect forward secrecy in ID-based key exchange. For this, we further extend our model to ID-based setting and capture the property of KGS-FS for ID-based key exchange security. 1

Stronger Security of Authenticated Key Exchange

Brian A. LaMacchia, Kristin Lauter, Anton Mityagin

Recent work by Krawczyk [10] and Menezes [14] has highlighted the importance of under-standing well the guarantees and limitations of formal security models when using them to prove the security of protocols. In this paper we focus on security models for authenticated key exchange (AKE) protocols. We observe that there are several classes of attacks on AKE protocols that lie outside the scope of the Canetti-Krawczyk model. Some of these additional attacks have already been considered by Krawczyk [10]. In an attempt to bring these attacks within the scope of the security model we extend the Canetti-Krawczyk model for AKE security by providing significantly greater powers to the adversary. Our contribution is a more compact, integrated, and comprehensive formulation of the security model. We then introduce a new AKE protocol called NAXOS and prove that it is secure against these stronger adversaries. 1

Security model for ID-based key exchange

Xinghua Li

The provable security of ID-based key exchange protocols was investigated. In the universally composable framework, the provable secure model of ID-based key exchange was proposed. The ability of the adversary to corrupt key generation center was added to the adversary model. According to the characteristics of ID-based key exchange, the ideal functionality of ID-based key exchange was presented. Based on the adversary model and the ideal functionality, the proposed model captures not only the universally composable security of ID-based key exchange, but also implies one of the important properties of ID-based key exchange——key generation center forward secrecy. In addition, the protocol （with key confirmation） proposed by Chen and Kudla can securely realize the functionality of ID-based KE with KGC-FS.

Efficient strongly-secure identity-based authenticated key agreement protocol

Jian Shu

Most of the existing Identity-based(ID) authenticated protocols are proven secure in the Canetti-Krawczyk(CK) model which is weaker than the extended Canetti-Krawczyk(eCK) model.Based on NAXOS trick,a new scheme using bilinear pairing was proposed.The security of the scheme was proven in the eCK model under the random oracle assumption and the Gap Bilinear Diffie-Hellman(GBDH) assumption.The proposed protocol was efficient in computational cost and communication round when compared with other solutions.The new protocol also satisfied master key forward security,perfect forward security and anti-key-leak disguise.

One-round Secure Key Exchange Protocol With Strong Forward Secrecy

Xiaowei Li, Dengqi Yang, Benhui Chen +1 more

Security models for key exchange protocols have been researched for years, however, lots of them only focus on what secret can be compromised but they do not differentiate the timing of secrets compromise, such as the extended Canetti-Krawczyk (eCK) model. In this paper, we propose a new security model for key exchange protocols which can not only consider what keys can be compromised as well as when they are compromised. The proposed security model is important to the security proof of the key exchange protocols with forward secrecy (either weak forward secrecy (wFS) or strong forward secrecy (sFS)). In addition, a new kind of key compromise impersonation (KCI) attacks which is called strong key compromise impersonation (sKCI) attack is proposed. Finally, we provide a new one-round key exchange protocol called mOT+ based on mOT protocol. The security of the mOT+ is given in the new model. It can provide the properties of sKCI-resilience and sFS and it is secure even if the ephemeral key reveal query is considered.

Recently,LaMacchia et al.proposed the extended Canetti-Krawczyk(eCK) model,which captures all security properties of authenticated key enchange protocols.Most of existing identity-based authenticated key exchange protocols are not secure in the eCK model.This paper proposes an identity-based authenticated key exchange protocol,and the security of proposed protocol can be proved in the eCK model.When compaer with other schemes,the proposed protocol achieves efficiency in terms of computation and communication.The proposal achieve strong security,and can be proved under the random oracle assumption and the Gap Bilinear Diffie-Hellman assumption.
