Study Notes
Internet Security Overview
- Internet protocols like IP, TCP, UDP, and HTTP were initially designed without built-in security.
- Increased threats led to the development of IPsec, SSL/TLS, and S/MIME to enhance security.
- Security can be applied at different layers (Application, Transport, Network, Link).
Key Internet Security Protocols
SSL/TLS (Transport Layer Security)
- Secures TCP-based communication (e.g., HTTPS).
- Key features include:
- Handshake Protocol: Establishes secure sessions.
- Record Protocol: Ensures encrypted data exchange.
- Encryption: Uses certificates and algorithms for authentication and confidentiality.
IPsec (Internet Protocol Security)
- Provides general security for IP packets (IPv4 and IPv6).
- Modes:
- Transport Mode: Encrypts only the payload (end-to-end communication).
- Tunnel Mode: Encrypts the entire packet (used for VPNs, gateway communication).
- Advantages: Transparent to applications and users; strong perimeter security when used in firewalls or routers.
HTTPS
- Combines HTTP with SSL/TLS to secure web communications.
- Mechanisms:
- Encryption: For confidentiality.
- Authentication: Using certificates.
- Protection: Against data tampering.
Secure Email Protocols
S/MIME
- Adds signing and encryption capabilities using public-key infrastructure.
- Ensures authentication, confidentiality, and integrity.
OpenPGP
- Similar to S/MIME, but uses a different trust model.
Security Challenges and Solutions
- Dynamic Web Content: Server-side processing (like PHP, ASP) requires encryption to protect data between browsers and servers. HTTPS ensures confidentiality and authentication of servers via digital certificates.
- HTTP Vulnerabilities: Unencrypted data is visible during transmission; passwords and session management are critical for user authentication.
Summary of Benefits
- SSL/TLS: Simplifies securing TCP-based applications.
- IPsec: Provides universal protection for IP traffic.
- Application-Specific Security: Tailored for unique use cases, requiring custom implementation.
