Zero-day flaw found in web encryption

A zero-day flaw in the TLS and SSL protocols, which are commonly used to encrypt web pages, has been made public. Security researchers Marsh Ray and Steve Dispensa unveiled the TLS Transport Layer Security flaw on Wednesday, following the disclosure of separate, but similar, security findings. TLS and its...

Password Interception in a SSL/TLS Channel

Simple password authentication is often used e.g. from an email software application to a remote IMAP server. This is frequently done in a protected peer-to-peer tunnel, e.g. by SSL/TLS. At Eurocrypt'02, Vaudenay presented vulnerabilities in padding schemes used for block ciphers in CBC mode. He used a side channel, namely...

EasyVPN: IPsec Remote Access Made Easy

Telecommuting and access over a Wireless LAN require strong security at the network level. Although IPsec is well-suited for this task, it is difficult to configure and operate a large number of clients. To address this problem, the almost universal deployment is leveraged and use of web browsers capable of...

EAP-TLS Smartcards, From Dream to Reality

This paper presents the first implementation of the EAPTLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport Layer Security) protocol in smartcards. Tests, performed on two java devices, are discussed and analysed. Results show that TLS processing is slow, because smartcards are not yet optimized for that purpose; however the paper clearly demonstrates that TLS...

Integrating a Signature Module in SSL/TLS

SSL/TLS is currently the most deployed security protocol on the Internet. SSL/TLS provides end-to-end secure communications between two entities with authentication and data protection. However, what is missing from the protocol is a way to provide the non-repudiation service. This paper describes a generic implementation of the non-repudiation service as...

OpenLDAP SSL/TLS How-To

OpenLDAP has the ability to enable SSLv3 capabilities. Similar to SSL is Transport Layer Security (TLSv1). While SSL operates on a secure connection (ldaps://:636) and is a Netscape-defined protocol, TLS offers the same encryption on regular LDAP connections (ldap://:389) and is an industry standard (RFC 2830). Both types of secure...
