Kao Chow Authentication v.2

Author(s): I Long Kao and Randy Chow  (1995)

Summary: Key distribution and authentication protocol. Symmetric keys cryptography with server.

Remark

This protocol is a correction of Kao Chow Authentication v.1 to prevent a freshness attack à la Denning Sacco attack (see Needham Schroeder Symmetric Key).

Protocol specification (in common syntax)

A, B, S :   principal
Na, Nb :   number
Kab, Kbs, Kas :   key

1.   A -> S :   A, B, Na
2.   S -> B :   {A, B, Na, Kab, Kt}Kas, {A, B, Na, Kab, Kt}Kbs
3.   B -> A :   B, {A, B, Na, Kab, Kt}Kas, {Na, Kab}Kt, Nb
4.   A -> B :   {Nb, Kab}Kt

Description of the protocol rules

See Kao Chow Authentication v.1. Kt is an additional fresh symmetric key whose purpose is to prevent a freshness attack as in Kao Chow Authentication v.1.

Requirements

See Kao Chow Authentication v.1.
