Abstract

We propose an efficient and secure mutual authentication and key exchange protocol suitable for applications using low-power mobile communications. It maintains the required level of security and has the property of perfect forward secrecy which is not possessed by other protocols such as ES-MAKEP, L-MAKEP, and I-MAKEP. Moreover, the paper also provides a formal proof to guarantee the security of the proposed protocol. Further, we apply the proposed authentication and key exchange solution to WTLS to obtain a more secure protocol
