This paper investigates authenticated key exchange (AKE) protocol under computational Diffie-Hellman assumption in the extended Canetti-Krawczyk model. The core technical component of our protocol is the trapdoor test technique, which is originally introduced to remove the gap Diffie-Hellman (GDH) assumption for the public key encryption schemes. Our contributions are twofold.First, we clarify some misunderstandings of the usage of the trapdoor test technique in AKE protocols showing its adaptation to the AKE protocols is not trivial. We point out some errors in some recent work which attempts to make use of the trapdoor test technique to remove GDH assumption.Second, based on trapdoor test technique, we propose an efficient extended Canetti-Krawczyk secure AKE protocol under computational Diffie-Hellman assumption instead of GDH assumption. Additionally, our protocol does not make use of NAXOS trick and has a tight reduction. In comparison with all existing AKE protocols with the properties as previously mentioned, our protocol with only three exponentiations is most efficient.
