Protocols for Authentication and Key Establishment / Edition 1

by Colin Boyd, Anish Mathuria

Overview

This book is the most comprehensive and integrated treatment of the prools required for authentication and key establishment. In a clear, uniform presentation the authors classify most prools in terms of their properties and resource requirements, and describe all the main attack types, so the reader can quickly evaluate prools for particular applications.

In this edition the authors introduced new chapters and updated the text throughout in response to new developments and updated standards. The first chapter, an introduction to authentication and key establishment, provides the necessary background on cryptography, attack scenarios, and prool goals. A new chapter, computational security models, describes computational models for key exchange and authentication and will help readers understand what a computational proof provides and how to compare the different computational models in use. In the subsequent chapters the authors explain prools that use shared key cryptography, authentication and key transport using public key cryptography, key agreement prools, the Transport Layer Security prool, identity-based key agreement, password-based prools, and group key establishment.

The book is a suitable graduate-level introduction, and a reference and overview for researchers and practitioners with 225 concrete prools described. In the appendices the authors list and summarize the relevant standards, linking them to the main book text when appropriate, and they offer a short tutorial on how to build a key establishment prool. The book also includes a list of prools, a list of attacks, a summary of the notation used in the book, general and prool indexes, and an extensive bibliography.

Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

"This book is the first comprehensive treatment of prools for authentication and key establishment. It allows researchers and practitioners to quickly access a prool for their needs and become aware of existing prools that have been broken in the literature. In addition to a clear and uniform presentation of the prools, this book includes a description of all the main attack types … . will prove useful both to those who wish to learn more about the field and as a reference … ."
