RT Conference Proceedings T1 (Password) authenticated key establishment: From 2-party to group A1 Abdalla, Michel A1 Bohli, Jens Matthias A1 González Vasco, María Isabel A1 Steinwandt, Rainer AB A protocol compiler is described, that transforms any provably secure authenticated 2-party key establishment into a provably secure authenticated group key establishment with 2 more rounds of communication. The compiler introduces neither idealizing assumptions nor high-entropy secrets, e.g., for signing. In particular, applying the compiler to a password-authenticated 2-party key establishment without random oracle assumption, yields a password-authenticated group key establishment without random oracle assumption. Our main technical tools are non-interactive and non-malleable commitment schemes that can be implemented in the common reference string (CRS) model.
