A DOS ATTACK AGAINST THE INTEGRITY-LESS ESP (IPSEC)

Ventzislav Nikov

2006

Abstract

This paper describes a new practical DoS attack that can be mounted against the “encryption-only” configuration (i.e. without authenticated integrity) of ESP as allowed by IPSec. This finding can serve as a strong argument to convince those in charge of the IPSec standardization to improve it by banning the “encryption-only” configuration from the standard.
