An enhanced authentication key exchange protocol

Abstract

This paper proposes an efficient authentication key exchange protocol. The authentication key exchange is an important issue in information security and network security. It assures two parties to generate shared keys secretly. Many information security and network security techniques provide security based on this shared secret key. The proposed scheme generates multiple shared keys for two parties at a time. It does not only withstand general attacks, also provides perfect forward secrecy. By making comparisons with other method, it takes less computation time.
