Man-in-the-middle attacks

Assuming that the discrete logarithm problem is computationally infeasible, an attacker overhearing the conversation between Alice and Bob can not learn g modp. However, it is subject to the kind of man-in-the-middle attack discussed earlier. 

Man-in the middle attack Control system environments with air gapping exchanges are often less secured. Major issues in this type of attack are ...

Different attempts and methods to attack PROFINET lO nodes were executed in [8] without success. The authors claimed that if standard Ethernet switches are used, it should be possible to deploy a successful man-in-the-middle attack, where an attacker can get in a position between the nodes, relajdng and manipulating messages. In [9] it is shown that it is possible to deploy a successful man-in-the-middle attack on PROFINET lO and the concept of security modules is introduced to deal with authentication and integrity of PROFINET lO real-time coimmmication.

Different vulnerabilities can give an attacker the opportunity to masquerade as a Measurement Device. In order to pose for the Backend System, an attacker could exploit vulnerabilities in the connection between these devices and conduct a man-in-the-middle attack.

Several kinds of attacks could realize the injection of a critical protocol message, among them the well-known man-in-the-middle attack and the replay attack. 

The most common authentication standard, 802.IX, can be defeated by man-in-the-middle (Riley 2005, TechDuke 2007) and sessionhijacking attacks (Proxim... 

For illustrative purpose, we concentrate on a Man In the Middle (MIM) attack on the CEMS model (one of the potential identified threats). In MIM attack an opponent... 

The introduction of DoIP enables vehicle diagnostics to be performed in repair shops using ordinary network equipment. Unfortunately, this means that vehicle diagnostics also becomes affected by many of the threats and vulnerabilities available in today s Internet. Especially critical becomes the lack of security in fundamental protocols used in LANs, since an attacker can exploit them and gain control of the (diagnostics) traffic as a man-in-the-middle [7]. In this paper, we address secure diagnostics in repair shops and more specifically we try to answer the questions ...
