Unknown key-share attack
As defined by, an unknown key-share (UKS) attack on an authenticated key agreement (AK) or authenticated key agreement with key confirmation (AKC) protocol is an attack whereby an entity A ends up believing she shares a key with B, and although this is in fact the case, B mistakenly believes the key is instead shared with an entity E \neq A. In other words, in a UKS, an opponent, say Eve, coerces honest parties Alice and Bob into establishing a secret key where at least one of Alice and Bob does not know that the secret key is shared with the other.
