Password-based authenticated group key exchange protocols provide a group of user, communicating over a public(insecure) channel and holding a common human-memorable password, with a session key to be used to construct secure multicast sessions for data integrity and confidentiality. In this paper, we present a password-based authenticated group key exchange protocol and prove the security in the random oracle model and the ideal cipher model under the intractability of the decisional Diffie-Hellman(DH) problem and computational DH problem. The protocol is scalable, i.e. constant round and with O(1) exponentiations per user, and provides forward secrecy.

This paper analyzes spam threats and proposes key exchange scheme for user authentication and SDP encryption to protect potential spam threats in SIP-based VoIP services. The existing HTTP digest authentication scheme exchanges many message because challenge is sent for every establishment of the session and doesn't provide a confidentiality of SDP. To protect SPIT, our scheme exchanges initial nonce and a session master key for authentication and SDP encryption during registration. In our scheme, the challenge and response procedure is not necessary and the communication overhead is much less than applying S/MIME or TLS.

In this raper, we propose two simple and efficient key agreement protocols, called SEKA-H and SEKA-E, which use a pre-shared password between two parties for mutual authentication and agreeing a common session key. The SEKA-H protocol uses a hash function to verify an agreed session key. The SEKA-E Protocol, a variant of SEKA-H, uses an exponentiation operation in the verification phase. They are secure against the man-in-the-middle attack the password guessing attack and the Denning-Sacco attack and provide the perfect forward secrecy. The SEKA-H protocol is very simple in structure and provides good efficiency compared with other well-known protocols. The SEKA-E protocol is also comparable with the previous protocols.

Authenticated key exchange protocol achieves its authentication by using hash-based authenticator with input of common message and session key that agrees between participants. In the letter, we show that this approach cannot satisfy the entire security, through a recent example protocol that is proposed by Tsai et al, 2014, if the input of authenticator has been insecurely designed.

In the secure communication areas, three-party authenticated key exchange protocol is an important cryptographic technique. In this protocol, two clients will share a human-memorable password with a trusted server, in which two users can generate a secure session key. On the other hand the protocol should resist all types of password guessing attacks. Recently, STPKE' protocol has been proposed by Kim and Choi. An undetectable online password guessing attack on STPKE' protocol is presented in the current study. An alternative protocol to overcome undetectable online password guessing attacks is proposed. The results show that the proposed protocol can resist undetectable online password guessing attacks. Additionally, it achieves the same security level with reduced random numbers and without XOR operations. The computational efficiency is improved by $\approx$ 30% for problems of size $\approx$ 2048 bits. The proposed protocol is achieving better performance efficiency and withstands password guessing attacks. The results show that the proposed protocol is secure, efficient and practical.

Password authenticated key exchange (PAKE) is a protocol that a client stores its password to a server, authenticates itself using its password and shares a session key with the server. In multi-server PAKE, a client splits its password and stores them to several servers separately. Unless all the servers are compromised, client's password will not be disclosed in the multi-server setting. In attribute-based encryption (ABE), a sender encrypts a message M using a set of attributes and then a receiver decrypts it using the same set of attributes. In this paper, we introduce multi-server PAKE protocol that utilizes a set of attributes of ABE as a client's password. In the protocol, the client and servers do not need to create additional public/private key pairs because the password is used as a set of public keys. Also, the client and the servers exchange only one round-trip message per server. The protocol is secure against dictionary attacks. We prove our system is secure in a proposed threat model. Finally we show feasibility through evaluating the execution time of the protocol.

In this paper, proposes Kerberos certification mechanism that improve certification service of PKINIT base that announce in IETF CAT Working Group. Bid to certificate other realm because search position of outside realm through DNS and apply X.509 directory certification system, acquire public key from DNS server by chain (CertPath) between realms by certification and Key exchange way that provide service between realms applying X.509, DS/DNS of PKINIT base. In order to provide regional services, Certification and key exchange between realms use Kerberos symmetric method and Session connection used Directory service to connection X.509 is designed using an asymmetric method. By efficient TGT (Ticket Granting Ticket) exchange and reusability of ticket, A Design of Kerberos system that have effect and simplification of certification formality that reduce overload on communication.

In this paper, we present two verifier-based multi-party PAKE (password-authenticated key exchange) protocols. The shared key can be used for secure content transmission. The suggested protocols are secure against server compromise attacks. Our first protocol is designed to provide forward secrecy and security against known-key attacks. The second protocol is designed to additionally provide key secrecy against the server which means that even the server can not know the session keys of the users of a group. The suggested protocols have a constant number of rounds are provably secure in the standard model. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed protocols are the first secure multi-party PAKE protocols against server compromise attacks in the literature.

In this paper, H.235 based security mechanism for H.323 multimedia applications was implemented in embedded environment. H.235 covers authentication using HMAC-SHAI -96, authenticated Diffie-Hellman key exchange, security capability exchange, session key management for voice encryption, and encryption functions such as DES, 3DES, RC2. H.235-based mechanisms were also analyzed in terms of its security and possible attacks.

It is imperative to migrate the current public key cryptosystem to a quantum-resistance system ahead of the realization of large-scale quantum computing technology. The National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST, is promoting a public standardization project for Post-Quantum Cryptography(PQC) and also many research efforts have been conducted to apply PQC to TLS(Transport Layer Security) protocols, which are used for Internet communication security. In this paper, we propose a scenario in which a server and multi-clients share session keys on TLS by using the parallelized NTRU which is PQC in the key exchange process. In addition, we propose a method of accelerating NTRU using GPU and analyze its efficiency in an environment where a server needs to process large-scale data simultaneously.
