Recently, Li et al. analyzed Lee et al.＇s protocol and proposed an improved dynamic identity based authentication protocol for multi-server architecture. They claimed that their protocol provides user＇s anonymity, mutual authentication and the session key agreement against several kinds of attacks. In this paper, a cryptanalysis on Lee et al.＇s scheme shows that Lee et al＇s protocol is also vulnerable to malicious server attack, stolen smart card attack and leak-of-verifier attack. Moreover, Li e/ al.＇s improved protocol is also vulnerable to all these attacks. Further cryptanalysis reveals that Li et al.＇s improved protocol is susceptible to collusion attack.展开更多
