We propose to analyze a weakness of quantum key distribution and quantum authentication which use entangled state were proposed by Bao-sen Shi(2001) and to improve the security of the protocol. The existing protocol had a weakness against an impersonation attack of an eavesdropper, because of a only process which authenticated a third party(Center) by users. In this paper, we propose improving the security of the protocol that authenticates users by a third party using check mode which applies CHSH inequality.
