YAK (cryptography): Description, Security properties & Overview

YAK (named after the animal) is a public-key authenticated key-agreement protocol, proposed by Feng Hao in 2010. It is claimed to be the simplest authenticated key exchange protocol among the related schemes, including MQV, HMQV, Station-to-Station protocol, SSL/TLS etc. The authentication is based on public key pairs. As with other protocols, YAK…
