Detecting IKEv1 Man-in-the-Middle Attack with Message-RTT Analysis

Abstract

The IPSec has been a widely used VPN (virtual private network) protocol due to its security and convenience. The security of IPsec itself plays a fundamental role in the overall security of the application system. However, it can be found from the existing research that because of some insecurity issues in the application process, the IPsec protocol will suffer from the man-in-the-middle attack. In this paper, we constructed the first experiment environment of IKE (Internet Key Exchange) man-in-the-middle detecting, use normal distribution to detect the RTT (round-trip time), and get 90% of accuracy.
