This document specifies an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) mechanism for authentication and session key distribution that uses the Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) mechanism. AKA is used in the 3rd generation mobile networks Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and CDMA2000. AKA is based on symmetric keys, and typically runs in a Subscriber Identity Module, which is ...

This document specifies an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) mechanism for authentication and session key distribution using the GSM Subscriber Identity Module (SIM). The mechanism specifies enhancements to GSM authentication and key agreement whereby multiple authentication triplets can be combined to create authentication responses and encryption keys of greater strength than the indiv...

This document specifies an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) mechanism for authentication and session key distribution using the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) mechanism. UMTS AKA is based on symmetric keys, and runs typically in a UMTS Subscriber Identity Module, a smart card like device. EAP AKA includes optional identity privac...

Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its areas, and its working groups. Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documentsat any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as refere...

The predominant grid authentication mechanisms use public key infrastructure (PKI). Nonetheless, certificate-less public key cryptography (CL-PKC) has several advantages that seem to well align with the demands of grid computing. Security and efficiency are the main objectives of grid authentication protocols. Unfortunately, certificate-less authenticated key agreement protocols rely on the bil...

New trends in consumer electronics have created a strong demand for fast, reliable and user-friendly key agreement protocols. However, many key agreement protocols are secure only against passive attacks. Therefore, message authentication is often unavoidable in order to achieve security against active adversaries. Pasini and Vaudenay were the first to propose a new compelling methodology for m...

For providing a secure distributed computer environment, efficient and flexible user authentication and key agreement is very important. In addition to user authentication and key agreement, identity privacy is very useful for users. In this paper, we propose an efficient and flexible password authenticated key agreement scheme using bilinear pairings. The main merits include: (1) there is no n...
