2014

Published version of a chapter in the book: Foundations and Practice of Security. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-05302-8_3 In this paper, we propose a novel framework for group authentication and key exchange protocols. There are three main advantages of our framework. First, it is a general one, where different cryptographic primitives can be used for different applications. Second, it works in a one-to-multiple mode, where a party can authenticate several parties mutually. Last, it can provide several security features, such as protection against passive adversaries and impersonate attacks, implicit key authentication, forward and backward securi…
