I'm a little lost, because what they came up with is a complicated and naive key proof that allowed attackers to recover the RSA key. There was no code that already implemented this weird ECB key-wrap and RSA key-proof scheme they came up with; they had to write it all themselves, rather than just grabbing a PAKE and an AEAD from a library. And the consequence of them doing that was that they had key recovery attacks like three levels deep.
