9 March 2020 - Ibrahim Ahmed Speaker Ibrahim Ahmed Title Secure Authentication and Key Establishment Using Abstract Multi-Agent Interaction Abstract Secure authentication and key establishment are essential for communication over modern Internet infrastructure. Authentication and key establishment schemes are critical to the operation of secure systems used by governments, financial institutions, universities, and e-commence, among others. However, public key cryptography, which underpins this infrastructure, is threatened by recent advances in quantum computing and quantum information theory. Efforts by governmental agencies and research institutes to adjust modern cryptographic standards to reflect developments in quantum technology signify the need for novel quantum-resistant methods. Researchers are currently developing a variety of quantum-safe techniques, including lattice-based cryptography, methods involving error-correcting codes, multivariate polynomial cryptography, and hash-based cryptosystems. We introduce a novel quantum-safe method for authentication and key establishment based on abstract multi-agent interaction. In a multi-agent system, autonomous agents abide by behavioural models, and intelligently make decisions regarding their goals and their interactions with other agents. This novel method treats communicating parties as agents and makes use of their behavior during interactions for authentication and key establishment. Like the other post-quantum methods, this agent modelling-based method does not rely on the difficulty of the problems which can be efficiently solved by a quantum computer.
