The ology of Internet-facts protection excepting the out of bounds entrance is developing alongside with protected materials tapping sphere. Non-encrypted user materials intercept and access to it is formerly but not now a difficult view, even for an conventional user. So everyone knows the word "sniffer". In principle, it's impossible to overhear safety SSL/TSL connections. But is it really so?

Substantively, not really. Yes, superencryption is actually impossible to decrypt, but actually, if one has a strong yen and the bondage, even the cryptographied information can be decrypted once a key is found. But in order to do that, great capacity are requisite. In this case the decryption makes sense only on the level of government or military interests.

When working over permissible connections (uncomplicated exemplar – HTTPS) all the data between the interworking points in the Net is cryptooperated on the sender's side and decrypted on the recipient's side. Information is scrambled in both directions. In order to to encrypt and decrypt the data you need a pair of keys (asymmetric ciphering). The public key is used for enciphering and is sent to the evidence receiver, while the private key is used for decryption and is kept by the sender. That way, hosts with SSL-connection between them exchange public keys. Thereinafter, to run up the capability a single key is created, which is sent already digitized and is used for both cryptography and decryption on both ends (symmetric enciphering).

And how do they do it? As a rule, through the identical channel which will be used to transfer the accident-free materials after that. However the key exchange takes place in an open mode. In case of HTTPS, the server key is associated with the certificate, which the user is recommended to check and accept. And exactly this certificate can be snooped by any interim server via which the certificate is passed in an open mode (proxy, router).

So as to to "read" all of the user’s materials, the mesne server swaps this certificate by its own. That is it connects to the consumer with its certificate and at the same time connects to the remote server. The consumer collects a wrong certificate from the server-disrupter and the browser communicate the user about threat (that sort of certificates never have signatures). The front end has a choice: to get the certificate and work with the site or repudiate it, but then it’s impracticable to work with that site at all. At times users skip the essence of certificates and automatically get any information passed by them.

If the user allows the inaccurate certificate, the materials will be transferred correspondingly the following scheme:

Client<=SSL-connection=>server-wiretap<=SSL-connection=>destination server

That means that the mesne server will extract all of your "secure" traffic in an open mode. It should be also noted that the certificate transmission is going on in the beginning of each HTTPS session.

As regards secured SSH, during the first connection with the server, the server key is left on the front end side and the client’s key on the server. These keys are transmitted between the given customer and the server only once, at the time of the first connection. If someone tries to intercept SSH-traffic in this case, both the customer and the server will override the connection what with keys imbalance. Subsequently keys can be transferred between the client and the server across alternative ways (per a innocuous channel or on an external unit), this connection method is relatively harmless. It can only be blocked, making the user work openly.

It should be noted that the so-called "Enterprise information security solutions" which intercept the complete traffic passed by the use of an office proxy-server and "read" it have been sold for a long time now. The programmes search after specific phrases or traffic of certain type in the traffic flow from browsers, e-mail programs, ftp-clients, office workers’ messengers. Likewise, such programmes can recognize and treat promptly sundry types of communication with servers. Notably, they look over nonhazardous SSL-traffic by certificates renewal. I had an almost first-hand experience in one of such systems development.

In any way, there are manners to keep off such a total tracing. It is possible to direct any sine qua non evidence by force of installed SSH connection, which will be transferred from the SSH-server in an open mode to the destination recipient. This mode is called SSH-tunneling. This way the traffic pass by way of the unprotected channel can be foolproofed, but this way and mean makes sense only when there is a dependable server with the set up and tunneling customized daemon. And it’s rather simple to organize it. The SSH-client connects to the server, configures to wiretap any specific port on the local computer. that sort of a consumer will provide SOCKS5-proxy service, i.e. its usage can be set up in any browser, e-mail program, IMs, etc. Packets get to the server in the SSH-tunnel and then transferred to the target server from it. The scheme is as follows:

[localhost: client<=>proxy] <== SSH-connection==> server<=> target server

The other way to protect traffic is a VPN-channel. It is easier and more convenient to use than SSH-tunneling, but it’s more complicated in the initial installation and setup. The main convenience is that you don’t have to write a proxy in programmes. Some of the programs doesn’t support proxy at all, hence only VPN will be opportune.

Simultaneously, if you are not conversant the technic of the processes above, there is the other easy-to-use and effective solution to crypt your facts. Internet Traffic Security softwareis able to solve all the works connected with the materials encryption with a single click of a mouse button and hence help to be pledged from any tabooed access. Consider using Internet Traffic Security software to accident-free your data and behavior in the Web space for the future.
