A Note on Collaborating Adversaries in the Srinathan-Kumar-Rangan Transmission Protocol
Book
Moss, B. (2003). A Note on Collaborating Adversaries in the Srinathan-Kumar-Rangan Transmission Protocol. University of Nottingham

We show, by means of brief demonstration, that the underlying transmission protocol in [1] cannot determine dishonest paths when adversaries collaborate. Hence, this method of tolerating mixed adversaries on an asynchronous network is flawed.
