Abstract |
In a one-way secret key agreement (OW-SKA) protocol in source model, Alice and Bob have private samples of two correlated variables X and Y that are partially leaked to Eve through the variable Z, and use a single message from Alice to Bob to obtain a shared secret key. We propose an efficient secure OW-SKA when the sent message over the public channel can be tampered with by an active adversary. Our construction uses a specially designed hash function that is used for reconciliation, as well as detection of tampering. In detection of tampering the function is a Message Authentication Code (MAC) that maintains its security when the key is partially leaked. We prove the secrecy of the established key and robustness of the protocol, and discuss our results. |
