Abstract

The username/password paradigm is a well-known authentication mechanism. Probably the most common version in use is the password authentication via an HTML form. The user has to type his/her password directly into a web page from the site to which he/she wishes to authenticate himself/herself. The problem with using this approach is that it relies on the user to determine when it is safe to enter his/her password. If the user authenticates himself/herself to a phishing website by disclosing his/her password, the password is stolen even though the session is fully encrypted. In other words in traditional password authentication, passwords are used only for client-side authentication. Password-authenticated key exchange (PAKE) on the other hand, offers password-based mutual authentication. This mutual authentication is different because its client-side authentication cannot be separated from its server-side authentication part.
