3 Introduction(1) Types of password guessing Detectable on-line Undetectable on-line: Verify the correctness of his guess using the response of the server. Off-line: un-detectable Types of key authentication Explicit: A is assured that B has actually computed the exchanged key Implicit:

8 Comments attacker 自己造出一組 Public Key 及 Private Key, 再假扮 Server 與 Client 溝通. 利用 Client 送來的 資料, 使用 guessing password 來解, 如果得到 正確的資料, 就猜到 Client 的 password 了 這種攻擊發生時,server 最後期待收到使用者的 回應卻沒收到, 既然是 guessing attack, 這種情形 會重複發生,server 便會有所警覺。 Explicit key authentication?: 當 A,B 雙方可以溝通 時,B 不就可以知道 A 確實有算出 session key
