A chaotic maps-based authenticated key agreement protocol with strong anonymity. (English) Zbl 1268.94035
Summary: In wireless communication environments, the authenticated key agreement with user anonymity is important. Recently, many chaotic maps-based anonymous authenticated key agreement protocols have been proposed. Tseng et al. applied Chebyshev chaotic maps to propose an anonymous key agreement protocol. Unfortunately, Niu et al. demonstrated that Tseng et al.’s protocol cannot protect the user anonymity and it suffers from insider attacks. Xue et al. improved Tseng et al.’s protocol. However, we have found that their improved protocol still cannot provide strong anonymity and is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. To remove these weaknesses, we have proposed a novel chaotic maps-based authenticated key agreement protocol. The proposed protocol can not only resist these attacks, but also provides strong anonymity.
