Improvement of an ID-based deniable authentication protocol

The deniable authentication protocol is an important notion that allows a receiver to identify the source of a given message, but not to prove the identity of the sender to a third party. Such property is very useful for providing secure negotiation over the Internet. The ID-based deniable authentication protocol based on elliptic Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol cannot defend the sender spoofing attack and message modification attack. In this paper, we present an improved protocol based on double elliptic Diffie- Hellman scheme. According to the comparison result, the proposed protocol performs better. © 2018, Journal of Electronic Science and Technology.
