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...

With the rapid development of WLAN, more and more schools and businesses have begun to provide the WLAN for users. However, WLAN is considerably more susceptible to MitM (man-in-the-middle) attack. To overcome it, we propose a dynamic password technology named Two-way Dynamic Authentication Technology (TDAT). It uses two-factor during the initial authentication, and uses a two-way hash chain du...

Man-in-the-Browser attacks are a sophisticated new hacking technique associated with Internet crime, especially that which targets customers of Internet banking. The security community has been aware of them as such for time but they have grown in ability and success during that time. These attacks are a specialised version of Man-in-the-Middle attack, and operate by stealing authentication dat...

TCP is the main transport protocol over the Internet, ensuring reliable and efficient connections. TCP is trivially vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (MitM) attackers; they can intercept, modify and inject TCP traffic [Joncheray 1995]. Despite significant possible threats, a common assumption is that MitM capabilities are difficult to obtain; this assumption is demonstrated by OWASP’s list of top...

Kemajuan teknologi informasi yang semakin kencang harus diimbangi dengan kemampuan untuk melakukan pengamanan terhadap informasi. Berbagai masalah penyerangan jaringan bertujuan merugikan pengguna perlu kita pahami bagaimana konsep tersebut. Serangan MITM (Man In The Middle) membelokan traffic paket data melewati perangkat penyerang. Perangkat penyerang mengaku sebagai router ketika berkomunika...

SSL/TLS (Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security)-enabled web applications are designed to provide authentication based on a public key certificate, as well generating secure session and traffic privacy symmetric key. Today, large number of e-commerce such stock trading, banking, shopping gaming rely the robustness protocol. Recently, potential threat known Man-in-the-Middle or main-in-the...

The Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attack is one of the most common attacks employed in the network hacking. MITM attackers can successfully invoke attacks such as denial of service (DoS) and port stealing, and lead to surprisingly harmful consequences for users in terms of both financial loss and security issues. The conventional defense approaches mainly consider how to detect and eliminate those a...
