Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Commodity Security Protocols: Introduction and Integration

We present an overview of quantum key distribution (QKD), a secure key exchange method based on the quantum laws of physics rather than computational complexity. We also provide an overview of the two most widely used commodity security protocols, IPsec and TLS. Pursuing a key exchange model, we propose how QKD could be integrated into these security applications. For such a QKD integration we propose a support layer that provides a set of common QKD services between the QKD protocol and the security applicationsComment: 12Page

Design and Implementation of Mobility for Virtual Private Network Users

Virtual Private Network framework provides Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability, Authentication and Anti- Replay services to the packets travelling through the shared medium like Internet. With the latest Advancement in the technology, Internet is available to the users thru all means like Wireless networks, GPRS, Satellite. When the VPN user roams or switches from one network to other, the IP address gets changed and VPN connection is tear down. The user has to again initiate the VPN connection whenever the network is switched. This paper present outcome of research project aimed at solving the mobility problems faced by roaming VPN users

Efficient, DoS-Resistant, Secure Key Exchange for Internet Protocols

We describe JFK, a new key exchange protocol, primarily designed for use in the IP Security Architecture. It is simple, efficient, and secure; we sketch a proof of the latter property. JFK also has a number of novel engineering parameters that permit a variety of trade-offs, most notably the ability to balance the need for perfect forward secrecy against susceptibility to denial-of-service attacks

Security Analysis of Multicast/Unicast Router Key Management Protocols

Key Management Protocols (KMPs) are intended to manage cryptographic keys in a cryptosystem. KMPs have been standardized for Internet Protocol Security (IPsec), and these KMPs have been formally validated for their security properties. In the Internet, routing protocols have different requirements on their KMPs, which are not met by the existing IPsec KMPs, such as IKE, IKEv2, and GDOI. Protocol modeling has been used to analyze the security of the IPsec KMPs. For routing protocols, there are new KMPs proposed by the Keying and Authentication for Routing Protocols (KARP) working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force: RKMP, MRKM, and MaRK. These KMPs are designed to have better applicability for general routing protocols. However, the security of these protocols has not been validated. In this thesis, we have summarized the necessary conditions for security of routing protocols. We have analyzed the security aspects of RKMP, MRKM, and MaRK, by formally validating those protocols using the AVISPA modeling tool. This has shown that these KMPs meet the necessary security requirements

Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)

Abstract This document considers a VPN end user establishing an IPsec Security Association (SA) with a Security Gateway using the Internet Key Exchange Protocol version 2 (IKEv2), where at least one of the peers has multiple interfaces or where Security Gateway is a cluster with each node having its own IP address
