Abstract

We analyse several well-known key establishment protocols for mobile communications. The protocols are examined with respect to their security and suitability in mobile environments. In a number of cases weaknesses are pointed out, and in many cases refinements are suggested, either to improve the efficiency or to allow simplified security analysis.
