Abstract

A method for securing at least one message transferred in a communication system from a first computing device to a second computing device in a peer-to-peer manner. At the first computing device, an identity based authenticated key exchange session is established with a third computing device operating as a peer authenticator. The identity based authenticated key exchange session has an identity based authenticated session key associated therewith. The first computing device obtains from the third computing device a random key component of the second computing device, wherein the random key component of the second computing device is encrypted by the third computing device using the identity based authenticated session key prior to sending the random key component of the second computing device to the first computing device. A peer-to-peer messaging key is computed at the first computing device using the random key component of the second computing device.
