comment Preventing message replay with RSA
How will including a signed random value solve the problem? How does the recipient know that the nonce hasn't been repeated without storing every previous nonce?

comment Preventing message replay with RSA
For my purposes, the expiration time is time+5 seconds. That gives an attacker a 5 second window to attack. For my system, a single replay can be destructive.

comment Why does nobody use (or break) the Camellia Cipher?
Yes, Yahoo! uses Camellia as the bulk cipher when TLS is used. What is more interesting is that they use a 1024-bit certificate...

comment Is public-key cryptography the only option in this scenario?
Thanks but SPEKE doesn't require the password in cleartext on the server-side, the password can be stored in cleartext, as hash(password) or as hash(password)^2...

Which PAKE method would you suggest, SRP or SPEKE and why?

comment ID-Secret Scheme
For the first update, HMAC(secret, ID) is used so that an attacker cannot find the ID (which I'm trying to keep secret). In other words HMAC(secret, ID) is used as an identification token if you will... The second part of the message (the ciphertext) carries the authentication request. Each ID has a corresponding SECRET to Party 2, so Party 2 needs to: see if HMAC(secret, ID) exists, and if so check if the ciphertext can be decrypted with the corresponding SECRET. For the second update, as the result of the ciphertext can be validated, there is no need for a message MAC.
