  • Detecting man-in-the-middle attacks in management component transport protocol network server systems
    Patent number: 11831674
    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for verifying integrity of components within a management component transport protocol (MCTP) server system to detect man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks and preventing data loss upon detection of MITM attacks. For example, a controller may perform an endpoint discovery process and authenticate endpoints within a rack server system. The controller may send requests to endpoints based on user actions and if no response is received from a particular endpoint, the controller may determine there is a MITM attack and block traffic to the particular endpoint. Additionally, the controller may periodically request measurements from endpoints that are related to the code and configuration area of the endpoints. If the received measurements from a particular endpoint do not match expected values, the controller may determine there is a MITM attack and block traffic to the particular endpoint.
