内容简介 : Authenticated key exchange (AKE) has been one of the most famous cryptographic primitives,which enables two or multiple parties to not only establish a session key but also authenticate the identities of parties involved in the key exchange.That is,AKE is widely used to establish a secure channel for parties over a public network,such as the Internet,so that the underlying network-based applications carried by the communication partners parties can be therefore well protected.As the importance of AKE,it is always the primary target of network attackers.With the emerging of new cyber technologies,novel attacks against AKE protocols have sprung up in an endless stream,which also pushes forward the development of AKE protocols with stronger security.In this book,we are going to introduce state-of-the-art research works,which are relevant to AKE with strong security.These works are lead by Zheng YANG.
