Public-Key Cryptography Question?
Consider the following protocol:
A → B : <A, {K}pk(B)>
B → A : <B, {K}pk(A)>
First, A generates a fresh key K and sends it encrypted with the public key of B. Only B will be able to decrypt this message. In this way, B learns K and B also knows that this message comes from A as indicated in the first part of the message he received. Hence, B
answers to A by sending again the key, this time encrypted with the public key of A.
Show that an attacker can learn the key K generated by an honest agent A to another honest
agent B.
