A new lattice-based password authenticated key exchange scheme with anonymity and reusable key

In this article, we propose a novel bilateral generalization inhomogenous short integer solution (BiGISIS)-based password-authenticated key exchange (PAKE) scheme for post-quantum era security. The hardness assumption of the constructed PAKE is based on newly proposed hard lattice problem, BiGISIS. The main aim of this article is to provide a solution for the post-quantum secure PAKE scheme, which is one of the open problems in the literature. The proposed PAKE is the first BiGISIS-based PAKE that satisfies anonymity and reusable key features. The bilateral-pasteurization (BiP) approach is used to obtain the reusable key, and anonymity is achieved thanks to the additional identity components and hash functions. The reusable key structure reduces the time in the key generation, and anonymity prevents illegal user login attempts. The security analysis is done by following the real-or-random (RoR) model assumptions. As a result of security examinations, perfect forward secrecy (PFS) and integrity are satisfied, and the resistance against eavesdropping, manipulation-based attack (MBA), hash function simulation, impersonation, signal leakage attack (SLA), man-in-the-middle (MitM), known-key security (KKS), and offline password dictionary attack (PDA) is captured. According to the comparison analysis, the proposed PAKE is the first SLA-resistant lattice-based PAKE with reusable key and anonymity properties.
