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

Efficient Two-Server Password-Only Authenticated Key Exchange
Xun Yi,San Ling,Huaxiong Wang +2 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a symmetric solution for two-server PAKE, where the client can establish different cryptographic keys with the two servers, respectively, and is more efficient than existing symmetric two- server PAKE protocol, and even more efficient in terms of parallel computation.

Standards for security associations in personal networks: a comparative analysis
TL;DR: This paper presents a taxonomy of protocols for key establishment in personal networks as well as describe and analyse specific protocols, and uses this taxonomy in surveying and comparing association models proposed in several emerging standards from security, usability and implementability perspectives.

TL;DR: A passive attack on the Bluetooth authentication protocol is implemented and it is shown that an implementation based on elliptic curves is well within the possibility of a modern handphone and has negligible effects on speed and user experience.

N-Party encrypted diffie-hellman key exchange using different passwords
Jin Wook Byun,Dong Hoon Lee +1 more
TL;DR: This paper securely and efficiently extend three- party case to N-party case with a formal proof of security, and suggests two provably secure N- party EKE protocols; N- Party EKE-U in the unicast network and N-Party Eke-M in the multicast network.

Simpler Session-Key Generation from Short Random Passwords
Minh-Huyen Nguyen,Salil Vadhan +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents the first protocol for password-authenticated key exchange in the standard model (with no common reference string or set-up assumptions other than the shared password), which uses several heavy tools and has a complicated analysis.
