Abstract

The weaknesses of the simple authenticated key agreement (SAKA) protocol were shown by Sun. The weaknesses include (1) it cannot detect a masquerade, (2) it cannot withstand the dictionary attack, and (3) it cannot provide perfect forward secrecy. In this paper, we will improve the SAKA algorithm to overcome these weaknesses. Besides, we will show that the improved scheme is more simple and secure than the original one.
