Attacks against the WAP WTLS protocol
نویسنده
چکیده
The WAP WTLS protocol was designed to provide privacy, data integrity, and authentication for wireless terminals. The protocol is currently being fielded, and it is expected that the protocol will be contained in millions of devices in a few years. Even though the WTLS protocol is closely modeled after the wellstudied TLS protocol, we have identified a number of potential security problems in it. In this note, we describe a chosen plaintext data recovery attack, a datagram truncation attack, a message forgery attack, and a key-search shortcut for some exportable keys.
