New Authenticated Key Agreement Protocol with Key Confirmation

Abstract

Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol is the first and most famous protocol, but it has many flaws and drawbacks. Therefore, in this paper a new authenticated key agreement protocol (AKAP) with key confirmation is proposed. The proposed protocol is based on Diffie-Hellman problem and it is working over elliptic curve group in the setting of asymmetric techniques.

Keywords: Diffie-Hellman protocol; ephemeral key; man-in-the-middle attack; public key certificates; static public key.
