Abstract

The key exchange protocol using passwords achieved great attention due to its simplicity and efficiency. Recently, Chang proposed a practical three-party key exchange (C-3 PEKE) protocol with round efficiency. Later, Lee and Chang presented an off-line password guessing attack on C-3 PEKE protocol. In the present paper, an impersonation-of-the initiator attack and impersonation-of-the responder attack are demonstrated on C-3 PEKE protocol using the off-line password guessing attack proposed by Lee and Chang.
