Represents the block size, in bits, of the cryptographic operation. Inherited from SymmetricAlgorithm. Represents the feedback size, in bits, of the cryptographic operation. By caching higher-up values, it is not necessary to perform inverse operations, but slightly more memory is required. In such an embodiment, an average of two applications of F A or F B which, in such an embodiment, do not need to have easy inverse functions are required per operation if only bottom-level single-use states are used for transactions.

A diagram of the state update processes for such an implementation would resemble a hash tree. For implementations requiring constant-time or more predictable performance, the additional processing time available during operations requiring only a single application of F A or F B can be used to precompute values that will be needed in the future, and thereby limit the execution time to two F A or F B operations per transaction.

In still other embodiments, the key index used by the server can be a value other than a transaction counter, since all the server requires is information sufficient to derive the current transaction key from the root key. In some applications, C can be incremented periodically e. In such embodiments, if the client or server fails to correctly update C and derive the corresponding updated key, the transaction will fail.

If the first value of C that is tried by the client or server fails, other likely session key values such as those with close values of C can be tried. Of course, if the client and server versions of C diverge too far, the transaction will not proceed. While the key index e. If both the client and server need to be secured against external monitoring attacks, the transaction can be performed using the larger of the two parties' transaction counters C. In particular, the client and server can exchange counter values, and if the counters are not equal each device can set its counter value to equal the larger of its value and the received value.

The device with the lower value updates its secret to derive the appropriate transaction key. This update can be implemented by applying a combination of the usual update functions and their inverses. For example, referring to the technique exemplified in FIG. In devices implementing this capability, care should be taken to assure that the system will not fail if a large, incorrect value of C is encountered.

For example, devices can reject excessively large jumps in C or can require additional cryptographic authentication, for example of the most significant bits of C. Such a protocol can be used to agree on a transaction counter for embodiments involving more than two parties in cryptographic transactions.

Finally, the actual value used for the transaction key can be the value produced from the transformation function, or a value derived from the transformation result can be used. For example, the transformation result can be encrypted or hashed to produce the session key. A hashing step can help to limit the number of operations performed with any given key and thus help to limit the amount of information about the key that can leak to attackers.

Alternatively or additionally, additional hashing operations can be performed periodically during the use of the session key, or fresh session keys can be required periodically. To observe the largest possible number of transactions with a given secret key, an attacker might try to reset a target device before the device's memory can be updated with the new value of K C e. However, such a reset does not necessarily mean an attack is in progress, since resets can occur during the normal operation of many systems.

For example, power can be lost if a smartcard is removed during a transaction. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, a failure counter stored in nonvolatile memory is updated prior to each update process. Before the update begins, the counter is tested to determine whether the number of sequential failures exceeds a maximum value and, if not, the transaction proceeds normally.

Once the new value of K C has been computed and safely written to memory and C has been incremented, the failure counter is reset. The probability that the counter threshold will be exceeded during normal operation of the device i. The exemplary key update process described with regard to FIGS. Attackers thus have the opportunity to collect information about the secret state during the three transactions themselves, the three key update processes that produce the transaction keys, and the three update processes that transform the transaction keys after the transactions.

Implementers must make sure that the total amount of information about the secrets that leaks to attackers during these processes is not enough to compromise the secret state. When characterizing a design, it is often useful to determine or estimate the maximum amount of information that can leak from each transaction without compromising security.

Cryptographic operations should normally be checked to ensure that incorrect computations do not compromise keys or enable other attacks. For example, a simple and effective technique is to perform cryptographic operations twice, ideally using two independent hardware processors and implementations, with a comparator to verify that both produce identical results.

If the results produced by the two units do not match, the comparator will prevent either result from being used. In situations where security is more important than reliability, the comparator can make the device self-destruct if serious errors occur. For example, the comparator can cause a self-destruct if two defective DES operations occur sequentially or if five defective DES operations occur during the lifetime of the device.

In some cryptosystems, redundancy is not necessary. For example, with RSA, self-checking functions can be incorporated into the cryptosystem implementation itself or verification can be performed after the operations. Self-diagnostic functions such as a POST power-on-self-test should also be incorporated to verify that cryptographic functions have not been damaged. In some smartcards and other devices, the ATR answer-to-reset must be provided before a comprehensive self-test can be completed.

In such cases, the self-test can be deferred until the first transaction or until a sufficient idle period. For example, a flag indicating successful POST completion can be set upon initialization. While the card is waiting for a command from the host system, it can attempt the POST. The invention therefore encompasses a family of related techniques that enable the construction of devices that are significantly more resistant to attack than devices of similar cost and complexity that do not use the invention.

In addition, multiple security techniques might be required to make a system secure; and leak resistance can be used in conjunction with other security methods or countermeasures.

As those skilled in the art will appreciate, the techniques described above are not limited to particular host environments or form factors. All of the foregoing illustrates exemplary embodiments and applications of the invention, from which related variations, enhancements and modifications will be apparent without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Under General tab make sure "Enable all purposes for this certificate" is selected and most importantly "Server Authentication" should be present in the list. The first 2 steps check the integrity of the certificate. Once we have confirmed that there are no issues with the certificate, a big problem is solved.

But, what if the website is still not accessible over https. You could run the following command to ensure no other process is listening on the SSL port used by the website. If there is another process listening on that port then check why that process is consuming that port. Try changing the IP-Port combination to check if the website is accessible or not. By now we are sure that we have a proper working certificate installed on the website and there is no other process using the SSL port for this website.

However, I still get "Page cannot be displayed" error while accessing over https. The HTTP. The problem may be with the HTTP. Execute the following from a command prompt:. Notice, that the Guid is all zero in a non-working scenario. You may see the Hash either having some value or blank. Even if we remove the certificate from the web site, and then run "httpcfg query ssl", the website will still list Guid as all 0's. To determine whether any IP addresses are listed, open a command prompt, and then run the following command:.

If the command returns a list of IP addresses, remove each IP address in the list by using the following command:. After all this if you are still unable to browse the website on https, then capture a network trace either from the client or server. Well, this is definitely now how you look at a network trace. You need to expand the frame details and see what protocol and cipher was chosen by the server.

Select "Server Hello" from the description to get those details. In the non-working scenario, the client was configured to use TLS 1. If "0" then the protocol is disabled. If everything has been verified and if you are still running into issues accessing the website over https, then it most likely is some update which is causing the SSL handshake to fail. There were actually two changes made to address information disclosure vulnerability in SSL 3.

The MS update implements a new behavior in schannel. The other change was in Wininet. If a problem exists, it may manifest as a failure to connect to a server, or an incomplete request.
