Authentication Protocol Based on Self-certified Public Key and Zero-knowledge Proof

Abstract

Based on the analysis of several typical zero-knowledge proof authentication protocols,this paper presents an authentication protocol with key-exchange function based on self-certified public key and zero-knowledge proof,which combines Girault's self-certified public key theory and the advantages of ECC.Analysis show that the scheme has higher security.Compared with the congeneric schemes,the proposed scheme is more efficient and has advantages in storage,communication overheads and computation cost.
