Abstract: In SAC'05, Strangio proposed protocol ECKE-1 as an efficient elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman two-party key agreement protocol using public key authentication. In this letter, we show that despite the author's claims protocol ECKE-1 is vulnerable to key-compromise impersonation attacks. We also present an improved protocol --- ECKE-1N, which can withstand such attacks. The improved protocol's performance is comparable to the well-known MQV protocol and maintains the same remarkable list of security properties.
