Hi Laurent,
thanks for your soon answer...

In the protocol:

1 A --> B: A, {B, Nxa, {Nya}_Kb}_inv(Ka)

Maybe I have an erroneous idea about the role that "i" (the intruder) is 
playing with respect to "b". In the above attack I have the idea that 
"b", naively, thinks that "i" is a honest agent and "b" could 
authenticate to "i" on Nya  (same variable where "a" does a witness).  
This attack is shown in http://www.lsv.ens-cachan.fr/spore/ccittx509_1.html

If you think that I have an erroneous idea, please I will be grateful 
you tell me why...

best regards,

Juan Carlos
