In a hyper-connected society realized through IoT-enabled technology, a large amount of data is collected by various devices and is processed to provide new services to users. While communicating through a network, it is essential for devices to execute mutual authentication since users' privacy can be infringed by malicious attackers. ID-based signature enables authentication and key exchange with a unique ID of a device. However, most of the previous ID-based signature schemes based on RSA require an additional step to share parameters for key exchange so that they are not suitable for resource-constrained devices in terms of efficiency. In this paper, we design an efficient ID-based signature and thereby propose an efficient ID-based authentication and key exchange protocol in which sessions for both an authentication and a key exchange are executed simultaneously. In addition, we prove the security of our scheme under the RSA onewayness problem and analyze the efficiency by comparing with the previous schemes.
