Title:
Hybrid Password Authentication Key Exchange in the UC Framework
Authors: You Lyu, Shengli Liu
Abstract:A hybrid cryptosystem combines two systems that fulfill the same cryptographic functionality, and its security enjoys the security of the harder one. There are many proposals for hybrid public-key encryption (hybrid PKE), hybrid signature (hybrid SIG) and hybrid authenticated key exchange (hybrid AKE). In this paper, we fill the blank of Hybrid Password Authentication Key Exchange (hybrid PAKE).
For constructing hybrid PAKE, we first define an important class of PAKE -- full DH-type PAKE, from which we abstract sufficient properties to achieve UC security. Our full DH-type PAKE framework unifies lots of PAKE schemes like SPAKE2, TBPEKE, (Crs)X-GA-PAKE, and summarizes their common features for UC security.
Stepping from full DH-type PAKE, we propose two generic approaches to hybrid PAKE, parallel composition and serial composition.
-- We propose a generic construction of hybrid PAKE via parallel composition and prove that the hybrid PAKE by composing DH-type PAKEs in parallel is a full DH-type PAKE and hence achieves UC security, as long as one underlying DH-type PAKE is a full DH-type.
-- We propose a generic construction of hybrid PAKE via serial composition, and prove that the hybrid PAKE by composing a DH-type PAKE and another PAKE in serial achieves UC security, if either the DH-type PAKE is a full DH-type or the other PAKE has UC security and the DH-type PAKE only has some statistical properties.
Our generic constructions of hybrid PAKE result in a variety of hybrid PAKE schemes enjoying different nice features, like round-optimal, high efficiency, or UC security in quantum random oracle model (QROM).
