Enhancements of a Three-Party Password-Based Authenticated Key Exchange Protocol
Shuhua Wu, Kefei Chen, Yuefei Zhu · 2013
Abstract: This paper discusses the security for a simple and efficient three-party password-based authenticated key exchange protocol proposed by Huang most recently. Our analysis shows her protocol is still vulnerable to three kinds of attacks: 1). undetectable on-line dictionary attacks, 2). key-compromise impersonation attack. Thereafter we propose an enhanced protocol that can defeat the attacks described and yet is reasonably efficient.
