A New Secret Handshakes Scheme with Dynamic Matching Based on ZSS

Abstract

Balfanz et al. in 2003, introduced the primitive secret handshakes (SH) as a two party protocol together with a notion of roles and implements it using pairing based cryptography, the scheme allows two parties to make a match (authentication & verification) and derive a shared common session key if and only if they belong to same group. If the parties do not belong to the same group, they cannot make any conclusion about the veracity of other’s affiliation. Ateniese et al. in 2007 presented a SH with dynamic matching in which each party can specify both the group and the role the other must have in order to complete a successful handshake. This paper presents a new SH scheme with dynamic matching which is computationally comparable with the scheme of Ateniese et al. The proposed scheme is inspired on an identity based authenticated key agreement proposed by McCullagh et al. and uses ZSS signature. The paper also gives security proofs for the new scheme in the random oracle.
