An increasing number of popular websites support the SSL/TLS protocol, the current standard for encrypting web traffic. Most commonly seen as part of the HTTPS protocol, SSL/TLS provides data and message confidentiality to protect users browsing the web from malicious attackers attempting to eavesdrop or tamper with traffic. Nonetheless, about 48% of popular websites remain insecure by only sup...

We de ne stealth Man-in-the-Middle adversaries, and analyse their ability to launch denial and degradation of service (DoS) attacks on secure channels. We show realistic attacks, disrupting TCP communication over secure VPNs using IPsec. We present: 1. First amplifying DoS attack on IPsec, when deployed without anti-replay window. 2. First amplifying attack on IPsec, when deployed with a `small...

The notion of Information-Centric Networking (ICN) specifies a new communication model that emphasis on the content exchanged rather than devices connected. ICN architectures like Content Centric Network (CCN) and Named Data (NDN) have been proposed to shift from host-centric based content-centric along provide benefits users in addressing challenges traditional IP networks. It differs standard...

Title of thesis: CHAUM’S PROTOCOL FOR DETECTING MAN-IN-THE-MIDDLE: EXPLANATION AND DISCUSSION William Newton, Master of Computer Science, 2010 Thesis directed by: Dr. Alan T. Sherman Department of Computer Science In this research paper, I explain David Chaum’s patent that describes the Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) detection protocol. The MITM Detection Protocol (MDP) uses three stages to entrap an...

In this paper, we examined the effect on network performance of various strategies an attacker could adopt to launch Man-In The Middle (MITM) attacks wireless network, such as fleet or random strategies. particular, we're focusing some those goals for MITM attackers - message delay, dropping. According simulation data, these have a significant legitimate nodes in causing vast amounts infected p...

Transport Layer Security (TLS, RFC 5246 and previous, including SSL v3 and previous) is subject to a number of serious man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks related to renegotiation. In general, these problems allow an MITM to inject an arbitrary amount of chosen plaintext into the beginning of the application protocol stream, leading to a variety of abuse possibilities. In particular, practical att...

Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks pose a serious threat to SSL/TLS-based e-commerce applications, and there are only a few technologies available to mitigate the risks. In [OHB05], we introduced the notion of SSL/TLS session-aware user authentication to protect SSL/TLSbased e-commerce applications against MITM attacks, and we proposed an implementation based on impersonal authentication tokens. ...

The Internet of things (IoT) is rapidly growing, and many security issues relate to its wireless technology. These are challenging because IoT protocols heterogeneous, suit different needs, used in application domains. From this assessment, we identify the need provide a homogeneous formalism applying every protocols. In survey, describe generic approach with twofold challenges. first challenge...

Many users would prefer the privacy of end-to-end encryption in their online communications if it can be done without significant inconvenience. However, because existing key distribution methods cannot be fully trusted enough for automatic use, key management has remained a user problem. We propose a fundamentally new approach to the key distribution problem by empowering end-users with the ca...
