Abstract: A Location-based service (LBS) is a popular information service which uses the geographical position of the user to provide service. Major challenges for wide deployment of such services is security and privacy, in our paper we propose a generic model of authenticated key exchange (AKE)protocol termed as forward-secure authenticated key exchange protocol (FSAKE) which uses elliptic curve cryptosystem. TheFSAKE protocol supports concurrent sessions and is used for the exchange of secure seed values which are used in forward-securepseudo-random number generators to generate secret keys for message authentication and symmetric encryption. The FSAKE protocol is a key evolving scheme which updates the long-termkeys (LTKs) at regular intervals and guarantees the security of the past keys and mitigates the damage caused by exposure of the current key. We make use of Scy ther model checking tool to prove the correctness of FSAKE protocol security.
