“Password Authentication Key Exchange Protocol using Fish Tank Image based True Random Number Generator”

Abstract

Abstract: We employ a straightforward configuration of a fish tank as the changeable environment, recording its photos over time, in order to limit the computational complexity. To create the initial seed, the image data is then submitted to a reduction method and hash function. In order to get true random numbers, we suggest a method for economically removing the true seed from the image data and applying it to a pseudo-random generator, in this case, a Linear Congruential Generator (LCG). The need for information security is increasing across a range of industries, and security concerns are receiving more and more attention as a result of the Internet's explosive growth in recent years. Any future value cannot be accurately anticipated based on the current set of values and random numbers are those that are a part of a sequence in which values are uniformly distributed over a defined set. A safe session key can be provided to a pair of users interacting over an unstable channel using password-based encrypted key exchange protocols, even if the top secret key or password they share is chosen at random from a tiny set of values. We offer two straightforward Bellovin and Merritt-based encrypted key exchange systems..
