Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for detecting man-in-the-middle attacks on a local area network. A method includes checking a first set of network settings information associated with a network router. A method includes requesting a second set of network settings information corresponding to the first set of network settings information. A method includes detecting a man-in-the-middle attacker on the network in response to at least a portion of the second set of network settings information not matching the first set of network settings information. A method includes triggering a countermeasure action related to the man-in-the-middle attacker.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for secure data transmissions. A method includes receiving a request for data that is encrypted according to a first encryption scheme, and determining a first public IP address associated with the request. The first public IP address identifies a remote client that created the request and is located in a field of a data packet that includes the request. The method includes determining a second public IP address associated with the request that identifies a sender of the request and is determined dynamically when the request is received. The method includes verifying an authenticity of the request in response to the first public IP address of the remote client matching the second public IP address of the sender. The method includes encrypting the requested data according to a second encryption scheme, and transferring the data to the remote client.
Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for secure data transmissions. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request for data from a remote client, the request including a public Internet protocol address of the remote client, the request encrypted according to an initial encryption scheme, encrypting the requested data according to a different encryption scheme, and transferring the data to the remote client.
