Talk:Replay attack
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Delay attacks
There are many protocols where Mallory can do great damage if he can simply delay a message. If Mallory can for example delay the message 'open the door' until Alice has gone away, he can gain unauthorized access. I've included this delay attack in our definition of replay attacks, because defending against it implies defending against other replay attacks and the analysis is quite similar. -- Nroets 28 June 2005 08:52 (UTC)
