Notes on Transport Layer Security
نویسنده
چکیده
This note provides a brief overview of Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol version 1.2 which provides security for communications on the Internet. TLS, similar to its successor SSL, allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping,tampering, or message forgery for secure communication on the Internet[1]. Block cipher and keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code are first introduced prior to the discussion on the details of the two main components of TLS, Handshake and Record protocols.

Trusted Directory Services for Secure Internet Connectivity: Transport Layer Security using DNSSEC
The Internet today is a highly dynamic environment which frequently requires secure communication between peers that do not have a direct trust relationship. Current solutions for establishing trust often require static and application-specific Public Key Infrastructures (PKIs). This paper presents trusted directory services as a key infrastructural technology for setting up secure Internet con...
متن کاملA Holistic Approach to Security Policies - Policy Distribution with XACML over COPS
The potentials of modern information technology can only be exploited, if the underlying infrastructure and the applied applications sufficiently take into account all aspects of IT security. This paper presents the platform architecture of the SicAri project, which aims to build a security platform for ubiquitous Internet usage, and gives an overview of the implicitly and explicitly used secur...
متن کاملAn Automated Approach for Proving PCL Invariants
Protocol composition logic, PCL, is a formal approach for proving security properties of a class of network protocols. PCL involves reasoning directly about properties achieved by protocols steps, in a setting that does not require explicit reasoning about attacker actions. The method relies on protocol invariants to combine properties of different roles of a protocol. While some protocol invar...
متن کاملStatus Notes
This memo explains how to use the Upgrade mechanism in HTTP/1.1 to initiate Transport Layer Security (TLS) over an existing TCP connection. This allows unsecured and secured HTTP traffic to share the same well known port (in this case, http: at 80 rather than https: at 443). It also enables "virtual hosting," so a single HTTP + TLS server can disambiguate traffic intended for several hostnames ...
متن کاملDetecting Bot Networks Based On HTTP And TLS Traffic Analysis
Abstract— Bot networks are a serious threat to cyber security, whose destructive behavior affects network performance directly. Detecting of infected HTTP communications is a big challenge because infected HTTP connections are clearly merged with other types of HTTP traffic. Cybercriminals prefer to use the web as a communication environment to launch application layer attacks and secretly enga...
