ID-Based Authenticated Key Agreement Protocol in Dynamic Peer Groups
Xiao Guo-zhen
Abstract
The two round dynamic group key agreement protocol(DB08 protocol) proposed by Dutta and Barua doesn't provide key independence.To improve DB08 protocol,an ID-based authenticated key agreement protocol in dynamic peer groups is presented by using Sakai R and Kasahara M's key construction.To avoid the correlation of the sub-keys for different sessions,hash functions and session identifiers are included while computing the sub-keys in the new protocol.So the new protocol achieves key independence,and it provides perfect forward secrecy,KGC-forward secrecy and resistance to passive and active attacks as well.Compared with DB08 protocol,the computation and communication costs are greatly reduced in the new protocol.So the new protocol is more efficient and applicable for dynamic peer network.
