Abstract

In this paper we consider the security of two recently proposed anonymous conference key distribution schemes. We show that neither scheme is as practical as the authors claim and that, in certain circumstances, both schemes also suffer from security vulnerabilities. We also show that the attack described in one paper is invalid.
