The public keys and identities of users can beverified implicitly when the session key being generating in a logically single step. A trusted KeyGeneration Center is no longer requiredas in the ID-based authenticated key agreement protocolsCompared with existing authenticated key agreement protocols from pairings, the. new proposedprotocol is more efficient and secure.展开更多

In other words, protocols with the fault-tolerance can not be provided when some fault occurs. This paper discusses the self fault-tolerance of protocols. It describes some concepts and methods for achieving self fault-tolerance of protocols. Meanwhile, it provides a case study, investigates a typical protocol that does not satisfy the self fault-tolerance, and gives a new redesign version of this existing protocol using the proposed approach.展开更多
