Securing app distribution process of iOS exploiting the notion of authentic update
2016 International Conference on Networking Systems and Security (NSysS)(2016)
摘要
iOS is, perhaps, considered as one of the most secured and reliable operating systems available now-a-days. However, its loopholes are coming into light in recent times causing a few security breaches such as the Masque attack. Even though prompt and pragmatic fixes for such breaches are of utmost significance, a fix for the Masque attack is yet to be proposed. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose a novel mechanism for guarding against the Masque attack. In our proposed mechanism, we exploit a synergy between authentication and non-repudiation to guard against different forms of Masque attack. Our exploitation leads towards a simple mechanism for preventing Replay attacks and for rejecting unauthenticated update, both of which generally paves the way of performing Masque attack. Consequently, the mechanism offers a pragmatic and easy-to-implement solution for the Masque attack.
