Abstract :
Recently Shim gave an attack on Harn´s modified authenticated multiple-key agreement protocol. The authors point out Shim´s attack is not workable. However, Harn´s modified protocol is still insecure and the authors give another attack on it. Finally, the authors propose an efficient protocol that can prevent this attack.
