Transport attacks & defences
P53.tls-handshake.02 · Audience: guest, it-ml, language-pro · Prerequisites: The TLS 1.3 handshake, Certificates & chains of trust
A handshake can be attacked while it happens: an attacker can downgrade the negotiation to a weak version, or sit in the middle with its own certificate (MITM). This module reads annotated handshake transcripts and names the attack — detection first, then the defences that stop each one.
