review text: Protocols for authentication and key establishment are the foundation for the security of communications. The range and diversity of these protocols is immense, while the variation in the properties and vulnerabilities of different protocols can be remarkably subtle. This book is the first comprehensive treatment of protocols for authentication and key establishment. It allows researchers and practitioners to quickly access a protocol for their needs and become aware of existing protocols that have been broken in the literature. In addition to a clear and uniform presentation of the protocols, this book includes a description of all the main attack types and classifies most protocols in terms of their properties and resource requirements. The first two chapters are introductory and may be useful for the graduate student, or anyone coming to the field for the first time. Material in the remaining five chapters is arranged thematically to help the reader identify connections between different protocols. Between them, these five chapters survey more than 150 protocols from the literature. Ch.\,1, A Tutorial Introduction to Authentication and Key Establishment, starts with a tutorial aimed at explaining the general methods of how protocols work and the typical capabilities of protocol adversaries. Definitions for the basic protocol components follow, including a quick overview of cryptographic algorithms and their properties, as well as a list of typical protocol attacks. Ch.\,2, Goals for Authentication and Key Establishment, is devoted to a study of the different goals that protocols for authentication and key establishment may have. This is a critical part of understanding protocol analysis, and neglect of this issue has been the source of much error in the past. The chapter develops a hierarchy of different goals, considering only extensional goals. This hierarchy is used in subsequent chapters to evaluate various protocols. The hierarchy provides a simple yet effec…
