SECURE COMMUNICATION METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR DC INTERCONNECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18231044 titled 'SECURE COMMUNICATION METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR DC INTERCONNECTION
Simplified Explanation
- This patent application describes an application that provides a secure communication method for data center interconnection. - The method involves a first device in one data center receiving a packet from a second device in another data center. - The packet contains attack verification information, such as a timestamp or a random number. - The first device then performs replay attack verification on the packet using the attack verification information. - The purpose of this method is to protect against replay attacks by including a timestamp and/or random number in the exchanged packets. - This method can be used in various communication scenarios, including point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and multipoint-to-point. - The secure communication method is highly flexible and can be applied to different scenarios.
Original Abstract Submitted
This application provides a secure communication method, apparatus, and system for data center (DC) interconnection, and relates to the network security field. The method includes: A first device in a first DC receives a first packet sent by a second device in a second DC, where the first packet carries attack verification information, and the attack verification information includes at least one of a first timestamp and a first random number. The first device performs replay attack verification on the first packet based on the attack verification information. In this application, replay protection is performed on a device in a DC by including a timestamp and/or a random number in a packet exchanged between devices in different DCs. This is applicable to point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and multipoint-to-point communication scenarios. The secure communication method is applicable to various scenarios and has high flexibility.
