Abstract:
In this paper, we propose only three way handshake password authenticated key exchange using only the mechanism of two-dimensional reversible cellular automata. The scheme use simple and elementary operations to handle the
problem of mutual authentication between two communicating parties, and establish common secure, valid session key
based only on a short, easily memorable password. Security of the proposed scheme shown to be high, while it resist most
common attacks on authentications schemes and provide the perfect forward secrecy. Besides, runtime performances of the
authentication protocol are very competitive, and outperform those of existing similar schemes. The proposed schemes ensure the three authentication requirements, namely the mutuality, the authenticity and the key exchange using only elementary 
and parallelizable operations.
