The Design and Implementation of Protocol-Based Hidden Key Recovery

Overview Intuitively, protocol key recovery means that a third party, by observing network traffic, can recover the secret key protecting the data transferred between two parties. Unlike previous key recovery or escrow schemes that work at the level of encryption and signature algorithms, the designs in this paper use features of the protocol. This paper shows how to add key recovery to existing security protocols such as SSL/TLS and SSH without changing the protocol.
