Abstract

Authentication and exchange of encryption keys are critical to network management. We propose a distributed scheme which, in addition to accomplishing authentication, also produces a session key at the end of the procedure. This is achieved by combining a zero-knowledge authentication scheme and a public key exchange protocol. Due to this combination, both protocols gain additional security against otherwise successful attacks. Performance and application to cellular networks are also discussed.
