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

Method for transferring sensitive information using initially unsecured communication
TL;DR: In this paper, a first party receives a public key of a second party, produces an encryption result by performing keyed encryption on at least a first random number using the public key, and transfers the encryption result to the second party over an unsecured communication channel.

Practical Anonymous Password Authentication and TLS with Anonymous Client Authentication
TL;DR: This paper introduces a novel approach for designing anonymous password-authenticated key exchange (APAKE) protocols using algebraic message authentication codes (MACs), where an algebraic MAC wrapped by a password is used by a client for anonymous authentication, and a server issues algebraicMACs to clients and acts as the verifier of login protocols.

Timing attacks against trusted path
TL;DR: New attacks against a user workstation's trusted path mechanism called Trojan horse non-persistence are presented, which can cause a user's password to leak bits and be combined with network authentication protocol brute-force attacks against the remainder of the key space.

An enhanced authenticated key agreement protocol for wireless mobile communication
TL;DR: This paper shows that Sui et al.'s protocol can't resist the off-line password guessing attack, and therefore presents an enhanced authenticated key agreement protocol, and considers including the enhanced protocol in 3GPP2 specifications.
On the Application of Identity-Based Cryptography in Grid Security
TL;DR: This thesis discusses how this TLS-like identitybased secret public key protocol can be applied to securing interactions between users and credential storage systems, such as MyProxy, within grid environments and introduces new password-based protocols using identity- based secret public keys.

A method for obtaining digital signatures and public-key cryptosystems
TL;DR: An encryption method is presented with the novel property that publicly revealing an encryption key does not thereby reveal the corresponding decryption key.

A public key cryptosystem and a signature scheme based on discrete logarithms
TL;DR: A new signature scheme is proposed, together with an implementation of the Diffie-Hellman key distribution scheme that achieves a public key cryptosystem that relies on the difficulty of computing discrete logarithms over finite fields.

A Public Key Cryptosystem and a Signature Scheme Based on Discrete Logarithms
TL;DR: In this article, a new signature scheme is proposed together with an implementation of the Diffie-Hellman key distribution scheme that achieves a public key cryptosystem and the security of both systems relies on the difficulty of computing discrete logarithms over finite fields.
