Authentication methods are provided that allow for superior security, power consumption, and resource utilization over existing authentication methods. By computing only two hashes of a shared secret password for each protocol run, the methods described in this disclosure dramatically reduce the computational power needed to perform authentication. Similarly, by exchanging these hashes bitwise or piecewise for verification, rather than performing new hashes including each bit of the password separately, the methods described in this disclosure reveal less information about the password being authenticated than existing methods. The methods described in this disclosure also allow for authentication using fewer messages and with lower latency, reducing the amount of operational power used in the authentication process.
