Password-authenticated key exchange (PAKE) is an important cryptographic primitive by
which two parties are allowed to authenticate each other and establish a cryptographically
strong key using a low-entropy password over an insecure channel. Therefore, it is suitable
for access control and securing communications between low-cost Internet of Things (IoT)
devices where sound security mechanism is difficult to be applied. This paper makes a
contribution to securing IoT applications by presenting a secure, efficient and easy-to …
