Abstract: Abstract In this paper, we examine one of the public key exchange protocols proposed (in: Durcheva, AIP Conference Proceedings 1631:336–343, 2014) which uses max-times and min-times algebras. We discuss properties of powers of matrices over these algebras and introduce a fast attack on this protocol.
