ATTACKS ON THE AKACP PROTOCOL

Konstantinos Chalkias and Foteini Baldimtsi and Dimitrios Hristu-Varsakelis and Spyros T. Halkidis and George Stephanides

Abstract: We discuss a recently proposed one-pass authenticated key agreement protocol, by Mohammad, Chen, Hsu and Lo, which was “derived” from their correponding two-pass version and claimed to be secure. We show that this is not the case by demonstrating a number of vulnerabilities.

Category / Keywords: impersonation attacks, key agreement, loss of information, key compromise, denial of service.
