AbstractFor a secure communication over an insecure channel the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol (DHKEP) is treated as the de facto standard. However, it suffers form server-side compromisation, identity compromisation, man-in-the-middle, replay attacks, etc. Also, there are single point of vulnerability (SOV), single point of failure (SOF) and user privacy preservation issues. This work proposes an identity-based two-server DHKEP to address the aforesaid issues and alleviating the attacks. To preserve user identity from outside intruders, a k-anonymity based identity hiding principle has been adopted. Further, to ensure efficient utilization of channel bandwidth, the proposed scheme employs elliptic curve cryptography. The security analysis substantiate that our scheme is provably secure and successfully addressed the above-mentioned issues. The performance study contemplates that the overhead of the protocol is reasonable and comparable with other schemes.
