Authenticated multiple key exchange protocols not only allow participants to agree the multiple session keys within one run of the protocol but also ensure the authenticity of the other party. In this paper, we propose an identity-based multiple key exchange protocol. The authentication part of the

proposed two new authenticated multiple key exchange protocols based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and bilinear pairings. In this paper, we show an impersonation attack on their pairing-based authenticated key exchange protocol. We demonstrate that any attacker can impersonate an entity to share multiple session keys with another entity of his/her choice by using only the public key of the victim. Moreover, their protocol fails to provide perfect forward secrecy, despite of their claim to the contrary. Thus, we propose a simple modification to the original protocol which avoids our attack.
