Title:
Security Weakness in a Three-Party Password-Based Key Exchange Protocol Using Weil Pairing

Authors: Junghyun Nam, Seungjoo Kim, Dongho Won

Abstract:

Recently, Wen, Lee, and Hwang proposed a three-party
password-authenticated key exchange protocol making use of the
Weil pairing. The protocol was claimed to be provably secure. But
despite the claim of provable security, the protocol is in fact
insecure in the presence of an active adversary. We demonstrate
this by presenting an attack that completely compromises the
authentication mechanism of the protocol. Consequently, the proof
of security for the protocol is invalidated.
