What is network security?
Confidentiality: only sender, intended receiver
should “understand” message contents
sender encrypts message
receiver decrypts message
Authentication: sender, receiver want to confirm
identity of each other
Message integrity: sender, receiver want to ensure
message not altered (in transit, or afterwards)
without detection
Access and availability: services must be accessible
and available to users
- 5. 8: Network Security 8-5
Friends and enemies: Alice, Bob, Trudy

Who might Bob, Alice be?
… well, real-life Bobs and Alices!
Web browser/server for electronic
transactions (e.g., on-line purchases)
on-line banking client/server
DNS servers
routers exchanging routing table updates
other examples?
- 7. 8: Network Security 8-7
There are bad guys (and girls) out there!
Q: What can a “bad guy” do?
A: a lot!
eavesdrop: intercept messages
actively insert messages into connection
impersonation: can fake (spoof) source address
in packet (or any field in packet)
hijacking: “take over” ongoing connection by
removing sender or receiver, inserting himself
in place
denial of service: prevent service from being
used by others (e.g., by overloading resources)
more on this later ……

RSA: Choosing keys
1. Choose two large prime numbers p, q.
(e.g., 1024 bits each)
2. Compute n = pq, z = (p-1)(q-1)
3. Choose e (with e<n) that has no common factors
with z. (e, z are “relatively prime”).
4. Choose d such that ed-1 is exactly divisible by z.
(in other words: ed mod z = 1 ).
5. Public key is (n,e). Private key is (n,d).

RSA: Encryption, decryption

1. To encrypt bit pattern, m, compute
c = m mod n
e (i.e., remainder when m is divided by n)

2. To decrypt received bit pattern, c, compute
m = c mod n

Bob chooses p=5, q=7. Then n=35, z=24.

RSA: Why is that m = (m mod n)

mod n = m mod n
d ed
Useful number theory result: If p,q prime and
n = pq, then:
x mod n = x mod n
y y mod (p-1)(q-1)
= m mod n
ed mod (p-1)(q-1)
= m mod n
1
= m
(using number theory result above)
(since we chose ed to be divisible by
(p-1)(q-1) with remainder 1 )

Message Integrity
Bob receives msg from Alice, wants to ensure:
message originally came from Alice
message not changed since sent by Alice
Cryptographic Hash:
takes input m, produces fixed length value, H(m)
e.g., as in Internet checksum
computationally infeasible to find two different
messages, x, y such that H(x) = H(y)
equivalently: given m = H(x), (x unknown), can not determine
x.
note: Internet checksum fails this requirement!
- 27. 8: Network Security 8-27
Internet checksum: poor crypto hash
function
Internet checksum has some properties of hash function:
produces fixed length digest (16-bit sum) of message
is many-to-one
But given message with given hash value, it is easy to find
another message with same hash value:

computes 128-bit MAC in 4-step process.
arbitrary 128-bit string x, appears difficult to
construct msg m whose MD5 hash is equal to x
• recent (2005) attacks on MD5
SHA-1 is also used

160-bit MAC
- 30. 8: Network Security 8-30
Digital Signatures
cryptographic technique analogous to hand-
written signatures.
sender (Bob) digitally signs document,
establishing he is document owner/creator.
verifiable, nonforgeable: recipient (Alice) can
prove to someone that Bob, and no one else
(including Alice), must have signed document
- 31. 8: Network Security 8-31
Digital Signatures
simple digital signature for message m:
Bob “signs” m by encrypting with his private key
KB, creating “signed” message, KB(m)
-

Oh, how I have missed
you. I think of you all the

Digital Signatures (more)
suppose Alice receives msg m, digital signature KB(m)
Alice verifies m signed by Bob by applying Bob’s
public key KB to KB(m) then checks KB(KB(m) ) = m.
if KB(KB(m) ) = m, whoever signed m must have used
Bob’s private key.
+ +

Alice thus verifies that:
Bob signed m.
No one else signed m.
Bob signed m and not m’.
non-repudiation:
Alice can take m, and signature KB(m) to
court and prove that Bob signed m.

Public Key Certification
public key problem:
When Alice obtains Bob’s public key (from web site,
e-mail, diskette), how does she know it is Bob’s
public key, not Trudy’s?
solution:
trusted certification authority (CA)
- 35. 8: Network Security 8-35
Certification Authorities
Certification Authority (CA): binds public key to
particular entity, E.
E registers its public key with CA.
E provides “proof of identity” to CA.
CA creates certificate binding E to its public key.
certificate containing E’s public key digitally signed by CA:
CA says “This is E’s public key.”

authentication as in protocol ap4.0
host requests authentication from access point
access point sends 128 bit nonce
host encrypts nonce using shared symmetric key
access point decrypts nonce, authenticates host
no key distribution mechanism
authentication: knowing the shared key is enough

Firewalls
isolates organization’s internal net from larger
Internet, allowing some packets to pass, blocking
others.
firewall
administered
network
public
Internet
firewall
- 77. 8: Network Security 8-77
Firewalls: Why
prevent denial of service attacks:
SYN flooding: attacker establishes many bogus TCP
connections, no resources left for “real” connections
prevent illegal modification/access of internal data.
e.g., attacker replaces CIA’s homepage with
something else
allow only authorized access to inside network (set of
authenticated users/hosts)
three types of firewalls:
stateless packet filters
stateful packet filters
application gateways
- 78. 8: Network Security 8-78
Stateless packet filtering
internal network connected to Internet via
router firewall
router filters packet-by-packet, decision to
forward/drop packet based on:
source IP address, destination IP address
TCP/UDP source and destination port numbers
ICMP message type
TCP SYN and ACK bits
Should arriving
packet be allowed
in? Departing packet
let out?
- 79. 8: Network Security 8-79
Stateless packet filtering: example
example 1: block incoming and outgoing
datagrams with IP protocol field = 17 and with
either source or dest port = 23.
all incoming, outgoing UDP flows and telnet
connections are blocked.
example 2: Block inbound TCP segments with
ACK=0.
prevents external clients from making TCP
connections with internal clients, but allows
internal clients to connect to outside.
- 80. 8: Network Security 8-80
Policy Firewall Setting
No outside Web access. Drop all outgoing packets to any IP
address, port 80
No incoming TCP connections,
except those for institution’s
public Web server only.
Drop all incoming TCP SYN packets to
any IP except 130.207.244.203, port
80
Prevent Web-radios from eating
up the available bandwidth.
Drop all incoming UDP packets - except
DNS and router broadcasts.
Prevent your network from being
used for a smurf DoS attack.
Drop all ICMP packets going to a
“broadcast” address (eg
130.207.255.255).
Prevent your network from being
tracerouted
Drop all outgoing ICMP TTL expired
traffic

Access Control Lists
ACL: table of rules, applied top to bottom to
incoming packets: (action, condition) pairs
- 82. 8: Network Security 8-82
Stateful packet filtering
stateless packet filter: heavy handed tool
admits packets that “make no sense,” e.g., dest port =
80, ACK bit set, even though no TCP connection
established:

determine whether incoming, outgoing packets “makes sense”
timeout inactive connections at firewall: no longer admit
packets

Stateful packet filtering
ACL augmented to indicate need to check
connection state table before admitting packet
- 84. 8: Network Security 8-84
Application gateways
filters packets on
application data as well
as on IP/TCP/UDP fields.
example: allow select
internal users to telnet
outside.
host-to-gateway
telnet session
gateway-to-remote
host telnet session
application
gateway
router and filter
1. require all telnet users to telnet through gateway.
2. for authorized users, gateway sets up telnet connection to
dest host. Gateway relays data between 2 connections
3. router filter blocks all telnet connections not originating
from gateway.
- 85. 8: Network Security 8-85
Limitations of firewalls and gateways
IP spoofing: router
can’t know if data
“really” comes from
claimed source
if multiple app’s. need
special treatment, each
has own app. gateway.
client software must
know how to contact
gateway.
e.g., must set IP address
of proxy in Web
browser
filters often use all or
nothing policy for UDP.
tradeoff: degree of
communication with
outside world, level of
security
many highly protected
sites still suffer from
attacks.
- 86. 8: Network Security 8-86
Intrusion detection systems
packet filtering:
operates on TCP/IP headers only
no correlation check among sessions
IDS: intrusion detection system
deep packet inspection: look at packet contents
(e.g., check character strings in packet against
database of known virus, attack strings)
examine correlation among multiple packets
• port scanning
• network mapping
• DoS attack
