Abstract
A first device nonce and a first Hash based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) of the first device nonce using an old password as a key is received. The received first HMAC is compared to a computed second HMAC of the received first device nonce using a stored old password as the key for a match. In response to the match, a third HMAC of a second device nonce using the stored old password as the key is computed. A change password acknowledgement message is sent to the first device that comprises the second device nonce and the third HMAC. A final secret is computed using a second device secret and the first device nonce. A new password using a key derivation function that uses the old password and the final secret is computed. Thus, a new password is generated without sending the password over a network.
