Secure and Efficient Key Agreement Protocols for Wireless Communication

Abstract

The key agreement protocol is the most important part to establish a secure cryptographic system and the effort to standardize the key agreement protocols is progress rapidly. Several efficient and secure key agreement protocols have been proposed so far since Diffie-Hellman proposed a public key agreement system in 1976. But, because Diffie-Hellman based key agreement protocols need a lot of computation to establish the session key, they are not proper to apply wireless Internet environment. In this paper, we propose the secure and efficient key agreement protocols using proxy server. The proposed protocols support the security of the Diffie-Hellman based protocol and the computation work of mobile user can be decreased using proxy server
