Improved two-party authenticated key agreement protocol

Abstract
Two-party authenticated key agreement is one of the methods to generate session keys.In this paper,the authors analyzed a new provably secure two-party authenticated key agreement protocol proposed in 2011 by Jianjie Zhao et al.and pointed out that this protocol was not secure if the adversary can obtain the long-term key of a participant.Then an improved protocol was presented,and in the new scheme,the parameters that may leak the long-term keys were encrypted.The authors also discussed the security and computational cost of the new scheme.The result shows that the new protocol realizes the secure key agreement with lower computational cost.
