Abstract
There are several frameworks for password-based authenticated key exchange (PAKE) protocols with common reference string following the work of Katz, Ostrovsky and Yung (Eurocrypt’01), and it seems that the IND-CCA secure encryption is inevitable when constructing PAKE in standard model.In this paper, we show that IND-PCA secure key encapsulation mechanism (KEM) is enough for PAKE, which is weaker and easier to be constructed than IND-CCA secure encryption. Our refined PAKE consists of a smooth projective hash function on IND-CPA secure encryption and an IND-PCA secure KEM. Based on DDH assumption, the total communication of PAKE consists of 6 group elements and log|D| (D is the set of password) bits, while before this, the most efficient PAKE contains 7 group elements.
