Analysis and improvement of two-party key authenticated agreement scheme
Jian Shu
Abstract
Based on signcryption scheme,Liu-Xu proposed an efficient and strong secure two-party key agreement protocol,which worked in an elliptic curve group.Security analysis showed that the scheme did not achieve strong security.The protocol,however,was susceptible to leakage of ephemeral secrets attack,and couldn't provide perfect forward security.Accor-dingly,the current paper demonstrated the vulnerability of Liu-Xu's protocol against such attacks due to redundancy of the exchange messages,and then presented an improved protocol in order to resolve such problems.
