Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, SSL, are important cryptographic protocol suites on the Internet. They both implement public key certificates and rely on a group of trusted certificate authorities (i.e., CAs) for peer authentication. Unfortunately, the most recent research reveals that, if any one of the pre-trusted CAs is compromised, fake certificates can be issued to intercept the corresponding SSL/TLS connections. This security vulnerability leads to catastrophic impacts on SSL/TLS-based HTTPS, which is the underlying protocol to provide secure web services for e-commerce, e-mails, etc. To address this problem, we design an attribute dependency-based detection mechanism, called SSLight. SSLight can expose fake certificates by checking whether the certificates contain some attribute dependencies rarely occurring in legitimate samples. We conduct extensive experiments to evaluate SSLight and successfully confirm that SSLight can detect the vast majority of fake certificates issued from any trusted CAs if they are compromised. As a real-world example, we also implement SSLight as a Firefox add-on and examine its capability of exposing existent fake certificates from DigiNotar and Comodo, both of which have made a giant impact around the world.

Nowadays, ZigBee is one of the dominating standards for wireless sensor networks and Internet of Things (IoT) networks. Even though, the ZigBee standard is formed with low per-unit costs, security in mind and network resilience, existing security mechanisms are not effective to provide security and protection against wormhole attacks and Distributed Denial of Service ( DDoS) attacks on networks such as WSN and IoT. They also introduce high consumption of energy, storage memory and processing. In this work, Energy Efficient Intrusion Detection System (EE-IDS) and Energy Efficient Intrusion Detection System with Energy Prediction (EE-IDSEP) are proposed for protection of ZigBee based wireless sensor networks in presence of wormhole attacks and ( DDoS) attacks. The EE-IDS is developed and its performance is evaluated by considering three different routing protocols such as Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV), Shortcut Tree Routing (STR) and Opportunistic Shortcut Tree Routing (OSTR) to improve the security against wormhole attack and to mitigate the energy consumption of the sensor nodes in the ZigBee based wireless sensor networks. The proposed EE-IDS and EE-IDSEP are evaluated through extensive simulations by using NS2 and then compared with the existing Energy Efficient Trust System for Wormhole detection (EE-TSW) and Energy Efficient Trust System (EE-TS) for detection of DDoS attack. It is inferred from the simulation results that proposed IDS namely EE-IDS-AODV, EE-IDS-STR and EE-IDS-OSTR for detection of wormhole attack have better performance than that of existing EE-TSW and proposed system EE-IDSEP for detection of DDoS attack have also shown better performance than that of existing system EE-TS in terms of performance metrics such as Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Average End-to-End Delay, energy consumption, detection rate, average detection time and False Positive Rate (FPR).
