SECURE CONNECTION INITIATION TO PREVENT REPLAY ATTACKS IN AN ENCRYPTED NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18360446 titled 'SECURE CONNECTION INITIATION TO PREVENT REPLAY ATTACKS IN AN ENCRYPTED NETWORK
The patent application describes systems and methods for establishing a communication connection with a network between a source device and a target device, using a shared token to prevent future replay attacks after a previous connection is closed.
- The innovation involves the use of a shared token during connection establishment to enhance security.
- This method helps prevent replay attacks by ensuring that each connection is unique and authenticated.
- By utilizing a shared token, the system can verify the authenticity of the connection between devices.
- The technology adds an extra layer of security to communication connections, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
- Implementing this system can improve overall network security and protect sensitive data during communication.
Potential Applications: - Secure communication between devices in IoT networks - Preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information - Enhancing security in online transactions and data transfers
Problems Solved: - Mitigating the risk of replay attacks in network communication - Improving authentication and verification processes for connections - Enhancing overall network security and data protection
Benefits: - Increased security for communication connections - Reduced risk of unauthorized access and data breaches - Enhanced protection for sensitive information during transfers
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Security System for Network Communication This technology can be applied in industries such as finance, healthcare, and telecommunications to secure communication channels and protect sensitive data. It can also be integrated into IoT devices to ensure secure connections in smart home systems.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the shared token system prevent replay attacks in communication connections? 2. What are the potential implications of implementing this technology in IoT networks?
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods are provided for providing a shared token as part of establishing a communication connection with a network (“connection establishment”) between a source device and a target device, after a previous communication connection to the network between the source device and the target device is closed or torn down, in helping to prevent future replay attacks.
