Abstract
This paper focus on the security analysis of the cryptographic protocols PEO and VCR first introduced in [l] and important applications in information security and auditing. The analysis is oriented to prove the security of the protocols based only on general properties of cryptographic hash functions and independently of the functions used for the implementation. Towards this goal a modification to the original protocols is proposed that would strengthen the security.
