Sorry, n00b here, but a friend was telling me about a new version of Internet Protocol that fixes man in the middle attacks, like deep packet inspection. Is that realistically coming anytime soon?
- truth_be_told 7y agoIt is an impossibility. Protocols are layered and so at one layer you can add features to detect possible MITM (eg. IPSec, SSL etc.) but cannot always be eliminated. I suggest you consult a book like "The TCP/IP Guide" to get an overview of the main data protocols and how they work. In this day and age, everybody ought to know something about the basic protocols which form the bedrock of our networked society.
