Efficient Password-based Key Exchange Protocol for Two users Registered in a Server

This paper presents a password-based key exchange protocol to guarantee secure communications for two users registered in a sever. In this protocol, the server is only responsible for the legality of the users but does not how the session key agreed between them. The protocol can resist the various attacks including server compromise attack and provide the perfect forward secrecy. The proposed protocol is efficient in terms of computation cost because of not employing the sewer's public key.
