Recall that even if the server only stores f(p), client has to send p in clear to authenticate to the server. If the adversary is watching, it learns p. Normally you have to use HTTPS to solve this problem. Alice has another idea. Instead of client sending p, client will instead only send f(p) to the server to authenticate. Then the adversary never learns p even if it can watch the whole communication. Is this a good idea?

Expert Solution

The authentication system have to be very secured these days as the chances for getting attacked is very high. We should use high end mechanism to encrypt the authenticating proess. It is must to use a HTTPS protocol for authentication to protect maximum. The idea of Alice may work but still not safe.

If f(p) is send to the server, server have to generate p from f(p). This will make the system complex. There should be a decrypting mechanism in the server side to generate p from f(p). This mechanism can be fetched and used by an attacker so that the attacker can now generate p from f(p) and authenticate to the system.

Today, attackers are even capable of finding the private key from the public key. That level of decrypting system are using by them. So sending f(p) directly without the HTTPS protocol is much risking. HTTPS itself provide adequate protection for the transmission. Using HTTPS and sending f(p) instead of sending p would be recommended for maximum security.

Assume a client uses TCP to send data to a server. The TCP header has 12 bytes of options and 99 bytes of data. [Please don't forget Ethernet Type/Len field is 2 bytes in size.] 1. Calculate the total number of bytes passed to the IP layer by the TCP layer. 2. Calculate the total number of bytes passed to the network layer by the IP layer, assuming the IP layer has no options. 3. Calculate the total number of...

Suppose a TCP client needs to send 3 packets to the TCP server. Before sending the first packet, the estimated RTT is 50 ms, and the estimated deviation of the sample RTT is 10 ms. The parameters α= 0.1, and β = 0.2. The measured sample RTT for the three packets are 60ms, 70 ms, and 40 ms, respectively. Please compute the time out value that was set for each packet right after it is being transmitted out.

A limitation of the chat server is that it can handle only one client because it is a single threaded application. Using the pThread library, modify the chat server so that it can handle multiple clients simultaneously, i.e., by creating a new thread whenever a client is connected so that the client is handled individually with a new thread, and at the same time, by having the main thread (i.e., the thread that runs the main function) of the chat...

How do I make a simple TCP python web client and web server using only "import socket"? Basically, the client connects to the server, and sends a HTTP GET request for a specific file (like a text file, HTML page, jpeg, png etc), the server checks for the file and sends a copy of the data to the client along with the response headers (like 404 if not found, or 200 if okay etc). The process would be: You first...

A distribution f(x) describes a population of squirrels. The function is only meaningful when it has positive values, and is given as f(x) = {-3(x-5)2+3*5*5} What percentage of the squirrels exist between x=0 and x=5/4? Formatting note, if 1/2 of the squirrels are in this portion of the distribution, your answer should be 50.
