An Efficient ID-Based Authenticated Key Agreement Protocol from Pairings

摘要

In this paper, we describe a new ID-based authenticated key agreement protocol that makes use of bilinear pairings. We then discuss the security properties of our scheme, including known-key security, perfect forward secrecy and no key control. It is also able to withstand both passive and active attacks. An important advantage of our scheme is that it preserves the perfect forward secrecy even though the long-term secret key of a trusted key generation center is compromised. We also show that it is more efficient than Chen and Kudla's protocol with same security properties as ours.
