What is replay resistant authentication mechanism?

A “replay-resistant” authentication mechanism is one that prevents someone who is snooping on network traffic from being able to store and re-use at a later time.

What is replay authentication?

The property of an authentication process to resist replay attacks, typically by use of an authenticator output that is valid only for a specific authentication.

Is MFA replay resistant?

Configure conditional access policies to require multifactor authentication for all users. All Azure AD authentication methods at authentication assurance level 2 and 3 use either nonce or challenges and are resistant to replay attacks.

Is TLS replay resistant?

The TLS VPN must be configured to use replay-resistant authentication mechanisms for network access to non-privileged accounts.

How does TLS protect against replay attacks?

The SSL/TLS channel itself is protected against replay attacks using the MAC (Message Authentication Code), computed using the MAC secret and the sequence number. (The MAC mechanism is what ensures the TLS communication integrity).

What are replay attacks give an example of replay attacks?

One example of a replay attack is to replay the message sent to a network by an attacker, which was earlier sent by an authorized user. Another technique that could be used to avoid a replay attack is by creating random session keys which are time bound and process bound.

What is clickjacking example?

The attacker creates an attractive page which promises to give the user a free trip to Tahiti. The user visits the page and clicks the “Book My Free Trip” button. In reality the user is clicking on the invisible iframe, and has clicked the “Confirm Transfer” button.

How does a nonce prevent replay?

If subsequent requests to a server, for example during digest access authentication via username and password, contain the wrong nonce and/or timestamp, they are rejected. When used in this way, nonces prevent replay attacks that rely on impersonating prior communications in order to gain access.

How does IPSec prevent replay attacks?

1) Protects against replay attacks. If an attacker can capture packets, save them and modify them, and then send them to the destination, then they can impersonate a machine when that machine is not on the network. IPSec will prevent this from happening by including the sender’s signature on all packets.

Can the attacker read the contents of the replayed message?

In a replay attack, the attacker cannot read the contents of the replayed message.

How TLS prevent replay and man in the middle attacks?

To prevent message replay or modification attacks, the MAC is computed from the MAC key, the sequence number, the message length, the message contents, and two fixed character strings。 The message type field is necessary to ensure that messages intended for one TLS record layer client are not redirected to another。
