An Efficient Password Authenticated Key Exchange Protocol with Bilinear Parings

In recent years, many password authenticated key exchange (PAKE) protocols have been proposed. However, many of them have been broken or have no security proof. In this paper, we propose an efficient password authenticated key exchange protocol using bilinear pairings. Compared with previous PAKE protocol using bilinear pairings, our protocol is quite efficient both in communication cost and computational cost. Moreover, this paper proves that the novel protocol is forward secrecy under the Bilinear Diffie-Hellman (BDH) assumption in the random oracle model.
