Abstract
Until now, it is still an open problem to provide a provably secure and efficient protocol for treating the case in which
n communication parties can authenticate each other and establish a secure session key with their respective passwords shared
with a trusted server. Accordingly, in this paper we propose a solution in a formal way. Firstly, we review the strengthened
EKE-M protocol—a maiden attempt to resolve the setting above and point out a subtle flaw in it that may cause unknown key
sharing attacks. Next, based on previous work in the adversary model for key establishment protocols, we provide an extended
one for the N-party setting. Finally, we propose a constant-round and provably secure generic construction of N-party different password-authentication (DPWA) key exchange protocols in the multicast setting.
Keywords Password - authenticated key exchange - key distribution - multi-party protocols
