Mitigation of optimistic acknowledgement attacks in a computer protocol

摘要

A method for verifying receipt of data packets, including generating a plurality of data packets, wherein each of the plurality of data packets comprises entropy information, transmitting one or more of the plurality of data packets to a receiver, receiving a first hash from the receiver, wherein the first hash is based on the entropy information of the one or more of the plurality of data packets and validating the first hash to determine if the receiver received the one or more of the plurality of data packets. Systems and computer-readable media are also provided.

1. A method for verifying receipt of data packets, comprising:
generating a plurality of data packets, wherein each of the plurality of data packets comprises entropy information; transmitting a first generated data packet to a receiver; receiving a first hash from the receiver, wherein the first hash is based on first entropy information of the first generated data packet; validating the first hash to determine if the receiver received the first generated data packet; transmitting a second generated data packet to the receiver; receiving a second hash from the receiver, wherein the second hash is based on second entropy information associated with the second generated data packet; validating the second hash to determine if the receiver received the second generated data packet; and authenticating a connection with the receiver based on the validated first hash and the validated second hash.
