Passive Impersonation Attack: after a pair of public and secret keys is generated, the adversary can choose to eavesdrop transcripts of executions of the identification scheme between P and V, until it decides to make an impersonation attempt; at this point, the adversary tries to make V accept without knowing the secret key.
