Abstract

This paper proposes a new key agreement protocol using Cellular Automata (CA). The primitives on which the protocol is based has been developed using specially designed CA structures. The paper aims at developing a key agreement technique which is not based on the Diffie-Hellman problem. The removal of exponentiations makes the protocol fast and have a linear time complexity. The protocol has been found to resist known forms of attacks. Indeed the initial review promises the development of a key agreement protocol which meets nicely the conflicting ends of security and efficiency.
