TLDR
A combination of asymmetric (public-key) and symmetric (secret- key) cryptography that allow two parties sharing a common password to exchange confidential and authenticated information over an insecure network is introduced.Abstract:
Classic cryptographic protocols based on user-chosen keys allow an attacker to mount password-guessing attacks. A combination of asymmetric (public-key) and symmetric (secret-key) cryptography that allow two parties sharing a common password to exchange confidential and authenticated information over an insecure network is introduced. In particular, a protocol relying on the counter-intuitive motion of using a secret key to encrypt a public key is presented. Such protocols are secure against active attacks, and have the property that the password is protected against offline dictionary attacks. >read more

A Provably-Secure Two-Factor Authenticated Key Exchange Protocol with Stronger Anonymity
TL;DR: A novel anonymous two-factor AKE protocol is proposed, which achieves stronger anonymity in the sense that no useful information about the user’s identity is revealed to either an adversary or the server and a formal security proof of the protocol is given in the random oracle model.
