Abstract

In this note we first develop a new computationally zero-knowledge interactive proof system of knowledge, which then is modified into an authentication scheme with secret key exchange for subsequent conventional encryption. Implemented on a standard 32-bit chip or similar, the whole protocol, which involves mutual identification of two users, exchange of a random common secret key and verification of certificates for the public keys (RSA, 512 bits) takes less than 0.7 seconds.
