Mechanism To Enhance Security Of The Quic Based Communication, Niranjan M M
Defensive Publications Series
Quick UDP Internet Connections (QUIC) is based on UDP/HTTP and TLS. While TLS provides adequate security, it is not very far to crack it with the increasing compute power of the devices, as TLS is based on Public Key Infrastructure (private/public key) methods, where-in keys are derived mathematically. As we know, asymmetric encryption (PKI) methods are not immune to cryptanalysis attacks from quantum computers, whereas symmetric encryption (with sufficiently large key sizes) is immune to cryptanalysis attacks. Hence there is renewed interest in symmetric encryption methods to deploy quantum secure networks. In short, currently QUIC uses TLS based method to …

Method To Support Ipsk For Wpa3 Clients As Well As Reduce Online Dictionary Attacks, Niranjan M M, Vijay Kothamasu, Nagaraj Kenchaiah
Defensive Publications Series
WPA3 was developed with the backward compatibility into consideration, i.e., if WPA3 is enabled on WPA2+PSK SSID (also called mixed mode), then both WPA3 and WPA2-only clients can associate to same SSID. This will work as long as SSID is configured to use default-PSK. In other words, if SSID is configured with iPSK, then WPA2-only clients can associate to the SSID using iPSK, but WPA3 clients fails to associate to this SSID using iPSK, as current WPA3 SAE negotiation does not consider iPSK (unique PSK per client). Also, WPA3 was introduced to combat offline dictionary attacks on WPA2+PSK by using …
