Forward Secrecy. Knowledge of some long term secret does not lead to the knowledge of past group keys. An important advantage of a group key agreement protocol over a simple group key distribution scheme is the forward secrecy. This property can be particularly interesting in situations where some nodes are likely to be compromised (eg. in military scenarios). In such a case, the knowledge of the long term secret of this node does not compromise all past session keys. From a functional point of view, it is desirable to have procedures to handle the dynamism in the network. These procedures enable efficient merging or partitioning of two groups in the network. 2 Related Work Key establishment protocols for networks can be broadly classified into three classes: Key transport using symmetric cryptography, Key transport using asymmetric cryptography and Key agreement using asymmetric cryptography. In key transport protocols, one participant chooses the group key and securely transfers it to other participants using a priori shared secrets (symmetric or asymmetric). These protocols are not suitable for ad hoc networks for two reasons; firstly, they require a single trusted authority to distribute keys and secondly, compromise of the a priori secret of any participant breaches the security of all past group keys, thus failing to provide forward secrecy. Most group key agreement protocols are derived from the two-party Diffie-Xxxxxxx key exchange protocol. GKA protocols, not based on Diffie-Xxxxxxx, are few and include [19, 24, 6]. Both protocols of Li [19] and Xxxx [6] fail to provide forward secrecy while protocol of Tzeng [24] is quite resource-intensive and prone to certain attacks [6]. Forward Secrecy is a very desirable property for key establishment protocols in ad hoc networks, as some nodes can be easily compromised due to low physical security of nodes. Thus it is essential that compromise of one single node does not compromise all past session keys. We summarize and compare in Table 1 existing GKA protocols based on Diffie- Xxxxxxx protocols. We compare essentially the unauthenticated versions of the protocols, as most achieve authentication by using digital signatures in a similar manner and thus have similar costs for achieving authentication. We compare the efficiency of these protocols based on the following parameters: • Number of synchronous rounds: In a single synchronous round, multiple independent mes- sages can be sent in the network. The total time required ...
Forward Secrecy. This property is used for protecting the previous and subsequent group keys against the compromise of long-term private keys of participants in the group. Therefore, in B-GKAP, the long-term key pairs of participants are only used to authenticate these participants. Additionally, each entity in B-GKAP generates a new temporary public-private key pair using sendPK( ) function for each session. Thus, B-GKAP provides the forward secrecy property.
Forward Secrecy. We could have the same assumptions as in Juang et al.’s security analysis that attacker could get the system’s long term secret keys KGWN-U and KGWN-S and could steal and read the smart card of Xx. Then, attacker could get { H(·), g, PTCi, PUGWN-U } from the smart card and { PUi, DIDi, Ci}, {DIDi, PUi, CGWN}, {SIDj, PUj, Cj, Cij} and {SIDj, PUj, Cij, EGWN} from the intercepted messages among Ui, GWN and Sj. There is only way that the attacker could get the session key KEYij by knowing Xx or Kj from PUi and PUj, respectively. However, they are based on the difficulty of the discrete logarithm problems. Furthermore, even GWN could not compute the session key KEYij between Ui and Sj neither. Xxxxxxx, the proposed scheme could provide forward secrecy.
Forward Secrecy. A cryptographic primitive or protocol provides forward secrecy with respect to a long term private key if compromise of the private key does not result in compromise of security of previously communicated or stored messages. With \signature-then-encryption", since di erent keys are involved in signature gener- ation and public key encryption, forward secrecy is in general guaranteed with respect to Xxxxx's long term private key. (Nevertheless, loss of Xxxxx's private key renders her signature forgeable.) In contrast, with the signcryption schemes, it is easy to see that knowing Xxxxx's private key alone is su cient to recover the original message of a signcrypted text. Thus no forward secrecy is provided by the signcryption schemes with respect to Xxxxx's private key. A similar observation applies to \signature-then-encryption-with-a-static-key" with respect to Xxxxx's shared static key. Forward secrecy has been regarded particularly important for session key establish- ment [20]. However, to fully understand its implications to practical security solutions, we should identify (1) how one's long term private key may be compromised, (2) how often it may happen, and (3) what can be done to reduce the risks of a long key being compromised. In addition, the cost involved in achieving forward secrecy is also an important factor that should be taken into consideration.
Forward Secrecy. If long-term secrets of one or more entities are compromised, the secrecy of previous session keys is not affected.
Forward Secrecy. Compromise of either Xxxxx’s private key or Bob’s private key does not appear to allow an attacker to recover any past session keys. On the other hand, compromise of the KGC’s master secret in the escrowed scheme allows all past agreed session keys to be recovered. Key Control: Because both parties have an input into the key, neither entity is able to force the full session key to be a preselected value. However, Bob can set certain bits of the agreed session key by carefully selecting his ephemeral key xb until be achieves the desired result. It does not appear possible for Bob to set any substantial number of bits in a reasonable time frame. Again, this key agreement is no less secure in this respect that most other key agreements. As with all key agreements a short timeout on a particular run of the protocol may be advisable.
Forward Secrecy. When the calculation phase of session key by each entity is going on, the random group element pairs (a, b) and (c, d) play an important role. Assume that an where the wireless communication channel is not secure. The hard problems we used belong to non commutative group and they are comparatively new to intruders.

It creates a contradiction because that CSP and BDP are hard which is our assumption. Key-Compromise Impersonation: Let us assume that the sender’s long term private key x1 is disclosed to intruder and he can impersonate the sender. Here the important question is that whether the intruder can impersonate the receiver without knowing x2 . For this, the intruder must know the sender’s ephemeral key pair (a, b). For this purpose the intruder is supposed to retrieve c from sender’s ephemeral public value xA asb which is not possible under the assumption that BDP is hard. [4] X.X. Xx, X.X. Xxx, X.X.

Forward Secrecy. Xxxxx et al. argued that their scheme is secure against various attacks and provides good properties. However, this section shows that Xxxxx et al.’s scheme does not provide forward secrecy, which is necessary property to be supported in the key agreement scheme. We need to have an assumption that attacker could get the system’s long term secret keys KGWN-U and KGWN-S as the normal assumption to the forward secrecy. Also, we need another assumption that attacker also could steal and read the verification table stored in the GWN [19]. For the attack, first of all, an attacker could get { TIDi, IDi, TEi } from the verification table. After that, the attacker could compute TCi’=H(KGWN-U||IDi||TEi) by using the long term secret key KGWN-U and IDi and TEi on the verification table and could derive Ki’=PKSiH(TCi’||TS4), where PKSi and TS4 are from the intercepted message in advance between Ui and GWN. Note that Xx’ works as a very important factor for the confidentiality of communication messages. The attacker could derive Kj’=PKSjH(Ki’||TS6), where PKSj and TS6 are from the intercepted message in advance between GWN and Ui. Then, the attacker could derive the session key KEYij’=H(Ki’Kj’) properly. Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx et al.’s scheme does not provide forward secrecy.
Forward Secrecy. A key establishment protocol is said to o er forward secrecy with respect to a participant if compromise of the participant's long term secret key does not result in compromise of past session keys. Clearly a key establishment protocol based on a shared static key between two participants cannot o er forward secrecy. Among protocols that are based on public key cryptography and o er forward secrecy with respect to both participants are those derived from the Di e-Xxxxxxx key estab- lishment protocol (see for example protocols proposed in [20, 25, 9]). Adding to these is Xxxxxx-Xxxxxx protocol [6] which o ers forward secrecy with respect to Xxxxx the sender (but not with respect to Bob the receiver). In contrast, the signcryption based key transport protocols proposed in this submission do not o er forward secrecy with respect to either participant. However, it is our view that one cannot categorically claim that a key establishment protocol with forward secrecy is better than one without. Rather one should take into account the additional computational and communication overhead involved in providing forward secrecy. There are basically two approaches that may be employed in containing potential dam- ages due to compromise of a long term secret key. The rst is to design a key establishment protocol that o ers forward secrecy and hence can tolerate compromise of the key. The second is to nd a way to make the key less compromiseable. As will be shown immedi- ately, the second approach seems far more economical than the rst one in terms of extra computational cost involved. Before proceeding to a discussion on how to protect a participant's long term secret key from being compromised, we note that there are mainly two possible threats to the long term secret key: accidental loss and, more serious, theft. It turns out that both threats can be e ectively thwarted via such means as secret sharing, either in a mathematical [50] or physical sense. To illustrate how simple and e ective a secret sharing method is against the theft and accidental loss of a long term secret key, we take a look at Xxxxx's long term secret key xa. What Xxxxx can do is to choose a random number xa;1, calculate xa;2 = xa xa;1, and then store xa;1 and xa;2 in two di erent secure locations. These secure locations can be logically separate secure compartments in Xxxxx's computer system, two physical devices (say, one is a tamper-resistant smart card, the other a PC with a lock), or a combina...
Forward Secrecy. If the long-term private keys of one or more entities are compromised, the secrecy of previously established session keys should not be affected. We say that a protocol has partial forward secrecy if one or more but not all the entities’ long-term keys can be corrupted without compromising previously established session keys, and we say that a protocol has perfect forward secrecy (PFS) if the long-term keys of all the entities involved may be corrupted without compromising any session key previously established by these entities.
