Abstract

The smart card based remote user authentication and key agreement protocol is a very practical solution to create a secure distributed computer environment. In this paper, we propose a smart card based secret-key exponential key agreement protocol called SEKA, which provides mutual authentication and key agreement over an insecure channel between user and server. The computational complexity that the client must perform is just one exponentiation and two hash functions during the runtime of the protocol.
