    "abstract": "Recently, a quantum key exchange protocol has been described, which served as\nbasis for securing an actual bank transaction by means of quantum cryptography\n[quant-ph/0404115]. Here we show, that the authentication scheme applied is\ninsecure in the sense that an attacker can provoke a situation where initiator\nand responder of a key exchange end up with different keys. Moreover, it may\nhappen that an attacker can decrypt a part of the plaintext protected with the\nderived encryption key.",
