Cipher Support on a Citrix MPX/SDX (N3) Appliance
Cipher support on a Citrix MPX/SDX (N3) appliance The following table lists the support for different ciphers on SSL entities, such as virtual server, frontend, backend, and internal services. On an SDX appliance, if an SSL chip is assigned to a VPX instance, the cipher support of an MPX appliance applies. Otherwise, the normal cipher support of a VPX instance applies. From release 10.5 build 56.22, NetScaler MPX appliances support full hardware optimization for all ciphers. In earlier releases, part of ECDHE/DHE cipher optimization was done in software. Use the 'show hardware' command to identify whether your appliance has N3 chips. > sh hardware Platform: NSMPX-22000 16*CPU+24*IX+12*E1K+2*E1K+4*CVM N3 2200100 Manufactured on: 8/19/2013 CPU: 2900MHZ Host Id: 1006665862 Serial no: ENUK6298FT Encoded serial no: ENUK6298FT Done How to read the table Unless a build number is specified, a cipher suite is supported for all builds in a release.

B. TECH, COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING Student, 3rd year-2nd Semester GITAM UNIVERSITY Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh India 2.Assistant Professor Computer Science and Engineering GITAM UNIVERSITY Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh India ABSTRACT This paper is focused on the evolution of SSH, the need for SSH, working of SSH, its major components and features of SSH. As the number of users over the Internet is increasing, there is a greater threat of your data being vulnerable. Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol provides a secure method for remote login and other secure network services over an insecure network. The SSH protocol has been designed to support many features along with proper security. This architecture with the help of its inbuilt layers which are independent of each other provides user authentication, integrity, and confidentiality, connection- oriented end to end delivery, multiplexes encrypted tunnel into several logical channels, provides datagram delivery across multiple networks and may optionally provide compression. Here, we have also described in detail what every layer of the architecture does along with the connection establishment. Some of the threats which Ssh can encounter, applications, advantages and disadvantages have also been mentioned in this document. Keywords: SSH, Cryptography, Port Forwarding, Secure SSH Tunnel, Key Exchange, IP spoofing, Connection- Hijacking. 1. INTRODUCTION SSH Secure Shell was first created in 1995 by Tatu Ylonen with the release of version 1.0 of SSH Secure Shell and the Internet Draft “The SSH Secure Shell Remote Login Protocol”. -

In Computer Networks, A
Practical No.1 Date:- Title:- Installation of Proxy-Server Windows Server 2003 What is proxy server? In computer networks, a proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application program) that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers. A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server evaluates the request according to its filtering rules. For example, it may filter traffic by IP address or protocol. If the request is validated by the filter, the proxy provides the resource by connecting to the relevant server and requesting the service on behalf of the client. A proxy server may optionally alter the client's request or the server's response, and sometimes it may serve the request wit hout contacting the specified server. In this case, it 'caches' responses from the remote server, and returns subsequent requests for the same content directly . Most proxies are a web proxy, allowing access to content on the World Wide Web. A proxy server has a large variety of potential purposes, including: To keep machines behind it anonymous (mainly for security).[1] To speed up access to resources (using caching). Web proxies are commonly used to cache web pages from a web server.[2] To apply access policy to network services or content, e.g. to block undesired sites. To log / audit usage, i.e. to provide company employee Internet usage reporting. To bypass security/ parental controls. To scan transmitted content for malware before delivery. -
Configuring SSL for Services and Servers
Barracuda Web Application Firewall Configuring SSL for Services and Servers https://campus.barracuda.com/doc/4259877/ Configuring SSL for SSL Enabled Services You can configure SSL encryption for data transmitted between the client and the service. In the BASIC > Services page, click Edit next to a listed service and configure the following fields: Status – Set to On to enable SSL on your service. Status defaults to On for a newly created SSL enabled service. Certificate – Select a certificate presented to the browser when accessing the service. Note that only RSA certificates are listed here. If you have not created the certificate, select Generate Certificate from the drop-down list to generate a self-signed certificate. For more information on how to create self- signed certificates, see Creating a Client Certificate. If you want to upload a self-signed certificate, select Upload Certificate from the drop- down list. Provide the details about the certificate in the Upload Certificate dialog box. For information on how to upload a certificate, see Adding an SSL Certificate. Select ECDSA Certificate – Select an ECDSA certificate presented to the browser when accessing the service. SSL/TLS Quick Settings - Select an option to automatically configure the SSL/TLS protocols and ciphers. Use Configured Values - This option allows you to use the previously saved values. If the values are not saved, the Factory Preset option can be used. Factory Preset - This option allows you to enable TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols without configuring override ciphers. Mozilla Intermediate Compatibility (Default, Recommended) - This configuration is a recommended configuration when you want to enable TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 and configure override ciphers for the same. -

Threat Modeling and Circumvention of Internet Censorship by David Fifield
Threat modeling and circumvention of Internet censorship By David Fifield A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor J.D. Tygar, Chair Professor Deirdre Mulligan Professor Vern Paxson Fall 2017 1 Abstract Threat modeling and circumvention of Internet censorship by David Fifield Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science University of California, Berkeley Professor J.D. Tygar, Chair Research on Internet censorship is hampered by poor models of censor behavior. Censor models guide the development of circumvention systems, so it is important to get them right. A censor model should be understood not just as a set of capabilities|such as the ability to monitor network traffic—but as a set of priorities constrained by resource limitations. My research addresses the twin themes of modeling and circumvention. With a grounding in empirical research, I build up an abstract model of the circumvention problem and examine how to adapt it to concrete censorship challenges. I describe the results of experiments on censors that probe their strengths and weaknesses; specifically, on the subject of active probing to discover proxy servers, and on delays in their reaction to changes in circumvention. I present two circumvention designs: domain fronting, which derives its resistance to blocking from the censor's reluctance to block other useful services; and Snowflake, based on quickly changing peer-to-peer proxy servers. I hope to change the perception that the circumvention problem is a cat-and-mouse game that affords only incremental and temporary advancements. -

TLS Security Upgrade Effective Thursday, May 3, 2018
TLS Security Upgrade Effective Thursday, May 3, 2018 You May Need to Upgrade Your Browser/Operating System to Ensure Online and Mobile Banking Functionality. Apple Bank is informing you of a change to our security protocol. We will be officially retiring TLS 1.0 security protocol support on all of our services and upgrading to TLS 1.1 or higher to align with industry best practices and ensure that your data continues to be highly secure. TLS stands for “Transport Layer Security.” It is a protocol that provides privacy and data integrity between two communicating applications. It’s the most widely deployed security protocol used today, and is used for web browsers and other applications that require data to be securely exchanged over a network. On or before May 3, 2018, we will disable the TLS 1.0 encryption protocol, which may prevent users like you from accessing some or all of your online and mobile banking functionality. This means that you may need to upgrade your browser/operating system to disable TLS 1.0 and use TLS 1.1 or higher. This security upgrade will not affect you in any other way. We want to make this process as smooth as possible for you with specific instructions below. Our primary goal for users is to maintain the highest possible security standards and help keep your data secure. Depending on your browser/device, you may need to upgrade to the following versions that support TLS 1.1 or higher. Browser • Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE): version 11 and higher • Microsoft Edge: all versions • Mozilla Firefox: version
