Abstract

Due to the rapid growth in technology, the development and use of cryptosystems has become plays an important role in networked and distributed applications. To get the benefits of such applications, the principals will cooperate by exchanging information over an open networks such as the internet. A key distribution protocol is an essential component of any cryptosystem to generation and sharing of cryptographic keys between the principals involved in the network securely. In the current days, there are a number of key distribution protocols that have been developed and implemented. However, the most of such protocols were found to be prone to several attacks a long time after deployment. In this paper, the key distribution protocol is designed to improve the Nomaskd protocol. The two protocols are analyzed and verified by a formal verification tool called Scyther, the verification results show that the Nomaskd protocol does not fulfill the strong authentication goals, whereas the improved protocol fulfill these goals.
