In recent years, researchers focused on developing simple 3PAKE (S-3PAKE) protocol to gain system e?ciency while preserving security robustness for the system. In this study, we first demonstrate how an undetectable on-line dictionary attack can be successfully applied over three existing S-3PAKE schemes. An error correction code (ECC) based S-3PAKE protocol is then introduced to eliminate the identified authentication weakness.展开更多
