This paper presents a password-based key exchange protocol to guarantee secure communications for two users registered in a sever. In this protocol, the server is only responsible for the legality of the users but does not how the session key agreed between them. The protocol can resist the various attacks including server compromise attack and provide the perfect forward secrecy. The proposed protocol is efficient in terms of computation cost because of not employing the sewer's public key.

Over the years, more password-based authentication key agreement schemes using chaotic maps were susceptible to attack by off-line password guess attack. This work approaches this problem by a new method--new theorem of chaotic maps: $T_{a+b}(X)+T_{a-b}(X)=2T_a(X)T_b(X)$,(a>b). In fact, this method can be used to design two-party, three-party, even in N-party intelligently. For the sake of brevity and readability, only a two-party instance: a novel Two-party Password-Authenticated Key Agreement Protocol is proposed for resisting password guess attack in this work. Compared with the related literatures recently, our proposed scheme can be not only own high efficiency and unique functionality, but is also robust to various attacks and achieves perfect forward secrecy. For capturing improved ratio of security and efficiency intuitively, the paper firstly proposes a new parameter called security/efficiency ratio(S/E Ratio). The higher the value of the S/E Ratio, the better it is. Finally, we give the security proof and the efficiency analysis of our proposed scheme.

The IEEE 802.1x can be using various user authentication mechanisms: One-Time Password, Certificate-Based TLS, Challenge/Response and Keberos through EAP(Extended Authentication Protocol). But, IEEE 802.1x also has vulnerabilities about the DoS, the session hijacking and the Man in the Middle attack due to the absence of AP authentication. In this paper, we propose a WLAN secure system which can offer a safety secure communication and a user authentications by intensified the vulnerability of spoofing and DoS attacks. The suppose system offers a safe secure communication because it offers sending message of integrity service and also it prevents DoS attack at authentication initial phase.

This paper suggests One-time Password key exchange authentication technique for a strong authentication based on Ad-hoc Networks and through identify wireless environment security vulnerabilities, analyzes current authentication techniques. The suggested authentication technique consists of 3 steps: Routing, Registration, and Running. The Routing step sets a safe route using AODV protocol. The Registration and Running step apply the One-time password S/key and the DH-EKE based on the password, for source node authentication. In setting the Session key for safe packet transmission and data encryption, the suggested authentication technique encrypts message as H(pwd) verifiers, performs key exchange and utilizes One time password for the password possession verification and the efficiency enhancement. EKE sets end to end session key using the DH-EKE in which it expounds the identifier to hash function with the modula exponent. A safe session key exchange is possible through encryption of the H(pwd) verifier.

Authentication and Key Agreement using password provide convenience and amenity, but what human can remember has extremely low entropy. To overcome its defects, AMP(Authentiration and key agreement via Memorable Password) which performs authentication and key agreement securely via low entropy password are presented. AMP uses Diffie-Hellman problem that depends on discrete logarithm problem. Otherwise, this thesis applies elliptic curve cryptosystem to AMP for further efficiency That is, this thesis presents EC-AMP(Elliptic Curve-AMP) protocol based on elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem instead of discrete logarithm problem, and shows its high performance through the implementation. EC-AMP secures against various attacks in the random oracle model just as AMP Thus, we nay supply EC-AMP to the network environment that requires authentication and key agreement to get both convenience and security from elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem.

Wireless access always has to include the authentication of communication partners and the encryption of communication data in order to use secure M-Commerce services. However, wireless systems have limitations compared with the wired systems, so we need an efficient authentication and key exchange protocol considering these limitations. In this paper, we propose an efficient authentication and key exchange protocol for M-Commerce users using elliptic curve crypto systems. The proposed protocol reduces the computational load of mobile users because the wireless service provider accomplishes some parts of computations instead of the mobile user, and it uses the password-based authentication in wireless links. Also, it guarantees the anonymity of the mobile user not to reveal directly the real identity of the user to the M-Commerce host, and preserves the confidentiality of communication data between the M-Commerce host and the user not to know the contents of communication between them to others including the wireless service provider.

We design authentication protocols for wireless internet not using certificates but using passwords. The target protocols include WTLS and the certificate request protocol in the wireless PKI(Public Key Infrastructure). When a password based protocol is designed and implemented for authentication and key exchange, care mutt be taken of the short length and of the not-so-randomness of passwords. To frustrate the offline guessing attack that makes use of those weaknesses, our two protocols are dependent on the password based authentication protocol that has security proof. In this paper, how to design systematically the security protocols for authentication and key exchange using passwords is presented, and the methodology hopes to be useful in some other area that needs authentication using passwords.

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a protocol for transferring files between computers, FTPS with TLS, and SFTP based on similar SSH. The keynote to apply one-time password (OTP) has been diffused to resolve identity and password theft cases. In this paper, it has been confirmed that both data transmission and identity authentication using OTP at TLS level are possible without significant change in user client.

In this paper we challenge the user Authentication using Kerberos V5 authentication protocol in WPKI environment. this paper is the security structure that defined in a WAP forum and security and watches all kinds of password related technology related to the existing authentication system. It looks up weakness point on security with a p개blem on the design that uses wireless public key-based structur and transmission hierarchical security back of a WAP forum, and a server-client holds for user authentication of an application level all and all, and it provides one counterproposal. Therefore, We offer authentication way solution that connected X.509 V3 with using WIM for complement an authentication protocol Kerberos V5 and its disadvantages.

In this paper, we propose a new key exchange protocol which authenticates each other and shares a session key between a user and a server over an insecure channel using only a small password. The security of the protocol is based on the difficulty of solving the discrete logarithm problem and the Diffie-Hellman problem and the cryptographic strength of hash function. The protocol is secure against the man-in-the-middle attack, the password guessing attack, the Denning-Sacco attack, and the stolen-verifier attack, and provide the perfect forward secrecy. Furthermore, it is more efficient than other well-known protocols in terms of protocol execution time because it could be executed in parallel and has a simple structure.
