Secure Key Establishment identifies several variants of the key sharing requirement. Several variants of the widely accepted Bellare and Rogaway (1993) model are covered. A comparative study of the relative strengths of security notions between these variants of the BellareโRogaway model and the CanettiโKrawczyk model is included. An integrative framework is proposed that allows protocols to be analyzed in a modified version of the BellareโRogaway model using the automated model checker tool.
Secure Key Establishment is designed for advanced level students in computer science and mathematics, as a secondary text or reference book. This book is also suitable for practitioners and researchers working for defense agencies or security companies.
