Abstract

A non-authenticated group key agreement protocol cannot provide participant and message authentication,thus it must depend on an authenticated network channel or use another scheme to provide authentication.This paper indicates that Burmester et al.'s group key agreement protocol which based on the authenticated broadcast channel is unable to withstand the disruption attack of malicious participants in group.This attack leads that other honest participants will not be able to correctly agree on a group key consistently.In this paper,an improved protocol is proposed.The proposed protocol which joins the message authentication method in original protocol can detect the malicious participant.Under the random oracle model,paper proves the improved protocol can withstand the interrupted attack from malicious participant.

A Provable Secure Group Key Agreement Protocol with Fault-Tolerant

Lansheng Han

This paper indicates that Burmester et al.'s group key agreement protocol which based on the authenticated broadcast channel is unable to withstand the disruption attack and key-control attack of malicious participants in group.These two attacks lead that other honest participants will compute different session key and other honest participants compute the fixed session key which is determined previously by malicious participants,respectively.In this paper,a fault-tolerant group key agreement(FT-GKA) protocol is proposed.Even if there are malicious participants trying to attack the establishment of a session key,all other honest participants following the proposed protocol are still able to compute the correct session key using the digital signature technology.Paper proves the protocol can withstand the passive attack of adversary under the DDH assumption,and the protocol can withstand the interrupted attack and key-control attack from malicious participants under the DL assumption and the random oracle model.Furthermore,the proposed protocol possesses both constant number of rounds and lower computation overhead.

A Robust Multi-Party Key Agreement Protocol Resistant to Malicious Participants

Yuh‐Min Tseng

By its very nature, a non-authenticated multi-party key agreement protocol cannot provide participant and message authentication, so it must rely on an authenticated network channel. This paper presents the inability of two famous multi-party key agreement protocols to withstand malicious participant attacks, even though their protocols are based on the authenticated network channel. This attack involves a malicious participant disrupting the multi-party key agreement among honest participants. In this case, other honest participants do not correctly agree on a common key. Obviously, the malicious participant cannot obtain the common key either, and the communication confidentiality among participants is not breached. However, in some emergency situations or applications, a multi-party key agreement protocol design that is resistant to malicious participants is useful. Therefore, in this paper, a non-authenticated multi-party key agreement protocol resistant to malicious participants is proposed. The proposed robust protocol requires constant rounds to establish a common key. Each participant broadcasts a constant number of messages. Under the assumption of the Decision Diffie–Hellman problem and the random oracle model, we will show that the proposed protocol is provably secure against passive adversaries and malicious participants.

An Insider Attack Resistant Group Key Agreement Protocol from Pairings

Yongzhong He, Xiaoyong Li, Zhen Han

Authenticated group key agreement allows a group of users to generate a shared key which satisfies various security requirements. Several identity-based authenticated group key agreement schemes are proposed. However, these schemes are shown to be vulnerable to insider impersonation attacks that any two malicious group members can impersonate other user to agree some session keys in a new group. In this paper, a simple two round authenticated group agreement scheme based on Burmester and Desmedt's scheme is proposed. Compared to previous protocols, our protocol is efficient while secure against various known attacks, including key exposure attacks and insider impersonation attacks.

An Authenticated 3-Round Identity-Based Group Key Agreement Protocol

Gang Yao, Hongji Wang, Qingshan Jiang

Key agreement protocols allow two or more participants exchange information over an open network with each other. In modern collaborative and distributed applications, authenticated group key agreement is one of the important issues. Recently identity-based authenticated key agreement protocol has been increasingly investigated because of the simplicity of a public key management. In this paper, we propose an authenticated three-round identity-based group key agreement protocol. The first round is for identity authentication, the second round is for key agreement, and the third round is for key confirmation. The proposed protocol is based on the protocol of Burmester and Desmedt, and the protocol is provably- secure in the random oracle model. In particular, the proposed authenticated identity-based group key agreement protocol provides a batch verification technique, which verifies the validity of transcripts from other group players simultaneously.

Improved ID-based Authenticated Group Key Agreement Secure Against Impersonation Attack by Insider

Hyewon Park, Tomoyuki Asano, Kwangjo Kim

Many conference systems over the Internet require authenticated group key agreement (AGKA) for secure and reliable communication. After Shamir [1] proposed the ID-based cryptosystem in 1984, ID-based AGKA protocols have been actively studied because of the simple public key management. In 2006, Zhou et al. [12] proposed two-round ID-based AGKA protocol which is very efficient in communication and computation complexity. However, their protocol does not provide user identification and suffers from the impersonation attack by malicious participants. In this paper, we propose improved ID-based AGKA protocol to prevent impersonation attack from Zhou et al.'s protocol. In our protocol, the malicious insider cannot impersonate another participants even if he knows the ephemeral group secret value. Moreover, our protocol reduces the computation cost from Zhou et al.'s protocol.
