Abstract

We show that the Chunka-Banerjee-Goswami authentication and key agreement scheme [Wirel. Pers. Commun., 117, 1361-1385, 2021] fails to keep user anonymity, not as claimed. It only keeps pseudonymity. Anonymous actions are designed to be unlinkable to any entity, but pseudonymous actions can be traced back to a certain entity. We also find the scheme is insecure against offline dictionary attack.
