Yeh u are right this was a problem for Pubic Key crypto systems but even in the implementation of these SSL or TLS first a master secret is set up with the help of pre master secret, which is done through the Public Key Cryptography like RSA, but I just wanted to know if the RSA or any other public key cryptosystem that we use in these protocols are they suspectible to Pauls Timing Analysis Attack or not? and If not why they are not? What has been done in them to take care so that they are not suscpetible to Pauls timing analysis attack
(Paul was one of those persons only who had designed the SSL Protocol) Lutz: Will you also comment your comments are sometimes very much useful to me Thanks List Shalendra On Tue, 16 Jul 2002 Michael Sierchio wrote : >Shalendra Chhabra wrote: > >>"Is SSL 3.0/TLS susceptible to Pauls Timing Analysis >>Attack"??? > >The protocols do not address the issue in any way -- this >is an implementation problem for the Public Key Crypto >component. > >______________________________________________________________________ >OpenSSL Project >http://www.openssl.org >User Support Mailing List >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Automated List Manager >[EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________ There is always a better job for you at Monsterindia.com.
