The MQV protocol has been regarded as the most efficient authenticated Diffie- Hellman key exchange protocol, and standardized by many organizations including the US NSA. In Crypto 2005, Hugo Krawczyk showed vulnerabilities of MQV to several attacks and suggested a hashed variant of MQV, called HMQV, which provides the same superb performance of MQV and provable security in the random oracle model. In this paper we suggest an efficient authenticated Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol providing the same functionalities and security of HMQV without random oracles. So far there are no authenticated Diffie-Hellman protocols which are provably secure without using random oracles and achieve the same level of security goals of HMQV efficiently yet.

In this paper, we propose a variant of Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol to provide pre-computable session key and to give another version of Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol that might be useful in designing more sophisticated cryptographic protocols. We prove the security of the key exchange protocol by reducing DH key exchange protocol to ours.

Although a symmetric cryptographic system has many advantages in speed of encryption decryption, the security problems with the distribution method of secret keys have been still raised. Especially, the distribution method of secret keys for unspecified individuals who want secret communication is becoming a core issue. As a simple solution to this issue, Diffie-Hellman key exchange methods were proposed, but proved to be insufficient in depending MITM(Main In The Middle) attacks. To find effective solution to problems mentioned above, this paper proposes the strengthened Diffie-Hellman key exchange methods applied for the mobile-phone channel which are widely used. This paper emphasizes the way to distribute the synthesized session keys to the sender and the receiver, which are created with authentication numbers exchanged between the mobile-phones and Diffie-Hellman key. Using proposed ways, MITMattacks can be effectively defended.

In this paper, we show a modified Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol that can exchange keys by exposing only minimal information using pre-computable session key pairs. The discrete logarithm problem, which provides the safety of existing Diffie-Hellman and Diffie-Hellman based techniques, is modified to prevent exposure of primitive root. We prove the algorithm's operation by applying the actual value to the proposed scheme and compare the execution time and safety with the existing algorithm, shown that the security of the algorithm is improved more than the product of the time complexity of the two base algorithms while maintaining the computation amount at the time of key exchange. Based on the proposed algorithm, it is expected to provide a key exchange environment with improved security.

In this paper, we proposed scheme that we use a difference of timestamp in time in Ubiquitous environments as we use the Diffie-Hellman method that OTP was applied to when it deliver a key between nodes, and can detect a malicious node at these papers. Existing methods attempted the malicious node detection in the ways that used correct synchronization or directed antenna in time. We propose an intermediate malicious node detection way at these papers without an directed antenna addition or the Trusted Third Party (TTP) as we apply the OTP which used timestamp to a Diffie-Hellman method, and we verify safety regarding this. A way to propose at these papers is easily the way how application is possible in Ubiquitous environment.

In this paper, we propose a new optical secret key sharing method based on the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol required in cipher system. The proposed method is optically implemented by using a free-space interconnected optical logic gate technique in order to process XOR logic operations in parallel. Also, we present a compact type of optical module which can perform the modified Diffie-Hellman key exchange for a cryptographic system. Schematically, the proposed optical configuration has an advantage of producing an open public key and a shared secret key simultaneously. Another advantage is that our proposed key exchange system uses a similarity to double key encryption techniques to enhance security strength. This can provide a higher security cryptosystem than the conventional Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol due to the complexity of the shared secret key. Results of numerical simulation are presented to verify the proposed method and show the effectiveness in the modified Diffie-Hellman key exchange system.

We developed the facsimile encryption system that could send/receive the cipher text and plain text automatically. This facsimile encryption system is adopting the 128bits SEED encryption algorithm, 1024bits modular and 256bits exponential Diffie-Hellman key exchange method. We can reduce the cipher text transmitting time by developing the Dual Facsimile Server, it can make the real time encryption communication. Key is safely exchanged by the exchanging the listed serial numbers when the Diffie-Hellman key exchanging.

Blind signature is such a signature scheme that conceals the contents of signature itself and who is the user of the signature make user's anonymity possible. For this reason, they are used in security services such as electronic cashes and electronic votes in which the behavior of actor should not be exposed. In this paper we propose an ID-based blind signature scheme from Gap Diffie-Hellman group. Its security is based on the hardness of Computational Diffie-Hellman Problem. Proposed scheme efficiently improve against existing blind signature scheme by using two-pass protocol between two users and by reducing computation process. Therefore it can be used efficiently in wireless PKI environment.

In this paper, we proposed a scheme that it safely exchanges encrypted keys without Trust Third Party (TTP) and Pre-distributing keys in multi-hop clustering sensor networks. Existing research assume that it exists a TTP or already it was pre-distributed a encrypted key between nodes. However, existing methods are not sufficient for USN environment without infrastructure. Some existing studies using a random number Diffie-Hellman algorithm to solve the problem. but the method was vulnerable to Replay and Man-in-the-middle attack from the malicious nodes. Therefore, authentication problem between nodes is solved by adding a ��TESLA. In this paper, we propose a modified Diffie-Hellman algorithm that it is safe, lightweight, and robust pair-wise agreement algorithm by adding One Time Password (OTP) with timestamp. Lastly, authentication, confidentiality, integrity, non-impersonation, backward secrecy, and forward secrecy to verify that it is safe.

A key agreement protocol is the most important part to establish a secure cryptographic system and the effort to standardize the key agreement protocols is in rapid progress. Several efficient and secure key agreement protocols have been proposed so far since Diffie-Hellman proposed a public key agreement system in 1976. But, since Diffie-Hellman based key agreement protocols need a lot of computation to establish the session key, they are not suitable for wireless Internet environment. In this paper, we propose the efficient key agreement protocol using Proxy server. The Proposed Protocol gives the security equivalent to that the Diffie-Hellman based Protocol and the computation work of mobile user can be decreased using proxy server.
