GnuTLS (/ ˈ ɡ n uː ˌ t iː ˌ ɛ l ˈ ɛ s /, the GNU Transport Layer Security Library) is a free software implementation of the TLS, SSL and DTLS protocols. It offers an application programming interface (API) for applications to enable secure communication over the network transport layer, as well as interfaces to access X.509, PKCS #12, OpenPGP and other structures.
An attack called POODLE [19] (late 2014) combines both a downgrade attack (to SSL 3.0) with a padding oracle attack on the older, insecure protocol to enable compromise of the transmitted data. In May 2016 it has been revealed in CVE - 2016-2107 that the fix against Lucky Thirteen in OpenSSL introduced another timing-based padding oracle.
If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an invalid signature algorithms extension, a null-pointer dereference occurs. This can cause a DoS attack against the server. A Stanford Security researcher, David Ramos, had a private exploit and presented it to the OpenSSL team, which then patched the issue.
In database computing, sqlnet.ora is a plain-text configuration file that contains the information (like tracing options, encryption, route of connections, external naming parameters etc.) on how both Oracle server and Oracle client have to use Oracle Net (formerly Net8 or SQL*Net) capabilities for networked database access.
Incoming HTTPS traffic gets decrypted and forwarded to a web service in the private network. A TLS termination proxy (or SSL termination proxy, [1] or SSL offloading [2]) is a proxy server that acts as an intermediary point between client and server applications, and is used to terminate and/or establish TLS (or DTLS) tunnels by decrypting and/or encrypting communications.
Oracle Net, [3] a proprietary networking stack, runs both on client devices and on Oracle database servers in order to set up and maintain connections and messaging between client applications and servers. Oracle Net (formerly called "SQL*Net" or "Net8" [4]) comprises two software components: Oracle Net Foundation Layer: makes and maintains ...
A Lucky Thirteen attack is a cryptographic timing attack against implementations of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol that use the CBC mode of operation, first reported in February 2013 by its developers Nadhem J. AlFardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London.
The publishing of TLS 1.3 and DTLS 1.3 obsoleted TLS 1.2 and DTLS 1.2. Note that there are known vulnerabilities in SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0. In 2021, IETF published RFC 8996 also forbidding negotiation of TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and DTLS 1.0 due to known vulnerabilities. NIST SP 800-52 requires support of TLS 1.3 by January 2024.
