Authenticated key exchange protocol with enhanced freshness properties

Abstract

Abstract This paper investigates the security model for authenticated key exchange protocols. We further enhance the enhanced Canetti‐Krawczyk (eCK) model by introducing a notion called strong key compromise impersonation (SKCI) resilience which is first identified in this paper. SKCI resilience guarantees that the adversary cannot masquerade as another party B to communicate with party A even if the static private key and the ephemeral private key of party A are compromised. We point out that the three‐pass authenticated key exchange protocol generically transformed from the two‐pass one secure in the eCK model cannot resist the SKCI attack. Finally, we introduce a new authenticated key exchange protocol SIG‐DH+ and prove that it satisfies our new definition. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Authenticated Key Exchange Protocols with Enhanced Freshness Properties.

Hai Huang, Zhenfu Cao

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.

A resilient identity-based authenticated key exchange protocol

Ibrahim F. Elashry, Yi Mu, Willy Susilo

This paper presents a new security notion for key exchange (KE) protocols called resiliency. That is, if a shared secret between a group of parties is compromised or leaked, they can generate another completely new shared secret without the need to set up a new KE session. We present an identity-based authenticated KE protocol that satisfies the resiliency security property. We prove that if an l-bit shared secret key (SSK) is leaked, then two parties P1 and P2 can safely generate another shared secret SSK1 without the need to establish a new session. We adjust the unauthenticated adversarial model of the Canetti–Krawczyk to meet this security property and prove the security of the proposed protocol using the Canetti–Krawczyk model based on the quadratic residuosity assumption.

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.

Analysis of Two Provably Secure Authenticated Key Exchange Protocols in the eCK Model

Xuexian Hu

The extended Canetti-Krawczyk(eCK) model proposed by LaMacchia et al.is currently regarded as the strongest security model for authenticated key exchange(AKE) protocols.In the eCK model,the adversary can make queries on the test session,and reveal both ephemeral private keys,both long-term keys,or one of each from the two different parties.In this paper,we analyze two AKE protocols designed in the eCK model based on the definition of eCK model.We propose ephemeral keys compromised attacks and long-term keys compromised attacks on one of them,and also propose ephemeral keys compromised attacks on the other one.The results of analysis show that both of them are insecure in the eCK model.

Strongly Secure One Round Authenticated Key Exchange Protocol with Perfect Forward Security.

Hai Huang

Abstract. This paper investigates the two-pass authenticated key exchange protocol in the enhanced Canetti-Krawczyk (eCK) with perfect forward security. Currently, there exist no authenticated key exchange protocols which are provably secure in eCK model and meanwhile achieve perfect forward security against active adversary in one round. We propose a new two-pass authenticated key exchange protocol which enjoys following desirable properties. First, our protocol is shown secure in the eCK model under the gap Diffie-Hellman (GDH) assumption. Moreover, our protocol does not use the NAXOS transformation, the drawback of which will be discussed in the introduction. Second, under the same assumption, we prove that our protocol achieves perfect forward security against active adversary in one round. To the best of our knowledge, our proposal is first two-pass (one round) AKE protocol provably secure in the eCK model and achieving perfect forward security against active adversary.

A New Efficient and Strongly Secure Authenticated Key Exchange Protocol

Qingfeng Cheng, Guangguo Han, Chuangui Ma

In 2007, LaMacchia et al.proposed the extended Canetti-Krawczyk (eCK) model for authenticated key exchange (AKE) protocols. In this paper, we first modify the eCK model by adding a new query to make the adversary can reveal all ephemeral secret information. Then we propose a new efficient and strongly secure AKE protocol in the asymmetric setting, called E-NETS (enhanced NETS) protocol, and prove its security in the modified eCK (meCK) model under the random oracle assumption and the gap Diffie-Hellman assumption.
