Three-party password-based authenticated key exchange (3PAKE) protocols allow two clients to establish a secure session key through a server over an insecure channel. Recently, the 3PAKE protocols have been developed based on Chebyshev chaotic maps, in which the clients utilize smart cards to login into the server and employ server's public key to ensure the identity of the server or symmetric cryptosystems to encrypt the messages. However, this paper describes an efficient chaos-based 3PAKE protocol without smart cards, which requires neither server's public key nor symmetric cryptosystems. The security of the proposed 3PAKE protocol is proved in the random oracle model using the chaos-based decisional Diffie-Hellman assumption. In comparison with the existing chaos-based 3PAKE protocols, our protocol individually provides better performance in terms of communication, computation, and security aspects, and is supported by the formal proof in the random oracle model.
