So far what we have seen
Basic network protocols
IP, TCP, UDP, BGP, DNS
Problems with them
TCP/IP
No SRC authentication: cant tell where packet is from
Packet sniffing
Connection spoofing, sequence numbers
BGP: advertise bad routes or close good ones
DNS: cache poisoning, rebinding
Web security mechanisms rely on DNS
Key management
IKE subprotocol from IPSEC
am1
A, (g mod p)
, signB(m1,m2)
A B, (gb mod p)
B
m2
signA(m1,m2)

Result: A and B share secret gab mod p
