Abstract

This paper discusses how to realize practical post-quantum authenticated key exchange (AKE) with strong security, i.e., CK+ security (Krawczyk, CRYPTO 2005). It is known that strongly secure post-quantum AKE protocols exist on a generic construction from IND-CCA secure key encapsulation mechanisms (KEMs) in the standard model. However, when it is instantiated with existing IND-CCA secure post-quantum KEMs, resultant AKE protocols are far from practical in communication complexity. We propose a generic construction of AKE protocols from OW-CCA secure KEMs and prove CK+ security of the protocols in the random oracle model. We exploit the random oracle and instantiate AKE protocols from various assumptions; DDH, gap DH, CDH, factoring, RSA, DCR, (ring-)LWE, McEliece one-way, NTRU one-way, subset sum, multi-variate quadratic systems, and more. For example, communication costs of our lattice-based scheme is approximately 14 times lower than the previous instantiation (for 128-bit security). Also, in the case of code-based scheme, it is approximately 25 times lower.
