Abstract:

The simplified SSL310 basic handshake protocol is analyzed by using a formal analysis method called the approach of the running-mode analysis. By analyzing the protocol, we find three different types of attack. Through an in-depth research,we also find that although these three attacks seem to result from the leak of allowing different versions to coexist, they are different. The major difference is the different role imitation, which probably leads to potential attacks. Finally, some improvement is made to avoid these three attacks effectively, which improves the security of the protocol.

Key words: SSL protocol, formal analysis, running-mode analysis
