Title:
Provably Secure Password-Authenticated Key Exchange Using Diffie-Hellman
Authors: Victor Boyko, Philip MacKenzie, Sarvar Patel
Abstract:When designing password-authenticated key exchange protocols (as
opposed to key exchange protocols authenticated using
cryptographically secure keys), one must not allow any information
to be leaked that would allow verification of the password (a weak
shared key), since an attacker who obtains this information may be
able to run an off-line dictionary attack to determine the
correct password. Of course, it may be extremely difficult to hide
all password information, especially if the attacker may pose as one
of the parties in the key exchange. Nevertheless, we present a new
protocol called PAK which is the first Diffie-Hellman-based
password-authenticated key exchange protocol to provide a formal
proof of security (in the random oracle model) against both passive
and active adversaries. In
addition to the PAK protocol that provides mutual explicit
authentication, we also show a more efficient protocol called PPK that
is provably secure in the implicit-authentication model. We then
extend PAK to a protocol called PAK-X, in which one side (the
client) stores a plaintext version of the password, while the other
side (the server) only stores a verifier for the password. We
formally prove security of PAK-X, even when the server is
compromised. Our formal model for password-authenticated key
exchange is new, and may be of independent interest.
