Abstract
Security-authentication is a crucial issue in networking for establishing communication between clients and servers, or between servers. Authentication is required whenever a secure exchange of information is sought between two computers. In a normal password authenticated key exchange all clients passwords are stored in a single server. If the server is compromised because of hacking or even insider attack, passwords in the server are all disclosed. This paper proposes two server password authenticated key exchange between two servers which is used to authenticate single client and thereby making loss of passwords to hackers much more difficult. The paper proposes the DNA for Encryption and Decryption along with ElGamal Encryption technique. This would prevent the intruder from using information obtained from one server towards accessing vital login in information.
