A novel secure two-party identity-based authenticated key agreement protocol without bilinear pairings

Abstract

Many Identity-Based two-party Key Agreement protocols have been proposed in recent years. Some of them are built on pairing maps, whereas some others could eliminate the pairings in order to decrease the complexity of computation. In this paper, we proposed a secure pairing-free Identity-Based two-party Key Agreement protocol which besides supporting security requirements uses less computational cost in comparison with existing related works.
