What is MQV?
'''MQV''' ('''Menezes-Qu-Vanstone''') is an [[authentication|authenticated]] [[Cryptosystem|protocol]] for [[Key-agreement protocol|key agreement]] based on the [[Diffie-Hellman key exchange|Diffie-Hellman]] scheme. MQV provides protection against an active attacker. ==References== * [[Burt Kaliski|Burton S. Kaliski Jr.]], An unknown key-share attack on the MQV key agreement protocol. ACM Trans. Inf. Syst.
