Abstract:

At present, constructing key exchange protocol based on lattice theory has become the research frontier in the field of key exchange. Designing efficient key exchange protocol with stronger security, smaller size of key and ciphertext and communication overhead is an important and difficult problem in the field of lattice key exchange.Based on the compact RLWE public key encryption scheme and the ciphertext compression and NTT conversion technology in NewHope-Simple, and combined with FO conversion mechanism, an active secure KEM scheme is proposed. Using the implicit authentication and identity authentication methods, an authenticated key exchange protocol which can prove secure under the standard eCK model is constructed. In terms of protocol security, the proposed protocol improves from passive security to active security compared with NewHope-Simple protocol. In terms of ciphertext size and communication overhead, compared with the existing key exchange protocols based on key encapsulation mechanism, the key encapsulation mechanism in this protocol effectively reduces the ciphertext size and communication overhead through analysis, which is a compact, efficient and active secure anti-quantum authentication key exchange protocol based on key encapsulation mechanism.
