Title: Strong Password-Based Authentication in TLS Using the Three-PartyGroup Diffie-Hellman Protocol

Journal Article · · International Journal of Security and Networks
OSTI ID:923272

The Internet has evolved into a very hostile ecosystem where"phishing'' attacks are common practice. This paper shows that thethree-party group Diffie-Hellman key exchange can help protect againstthese attacks. We have developed a suite of password-based cipher suitesfor the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol that are not onlyprovably secure but also assumed to be free from patent and licensingrestrictions based on an analysis of relevant patents in thearea.
