Abstract

The data encryption technique known as Transport Layer Security is used to establish a private connection between a client and a web service (TLS). The handshake protocol constructs an encrypted tunnel, enabling secure communication between two parties. The looming threat of Man-in-the-Middle attacks has emphasized how extremely vulnerable online data connections and financial activity are, despite the supposed security that the TLS protocol offers. This research compared the variances in time responses between an attack and a conventional SSL session in order to demonstrate the survivability of lowering the imminent threat that attacks like the man-in-the-middle posture to the SSL and TLS communication. The results of this research have been used to demonstrate how well an optimised SSL/TLS MITM detection system has been enforced.
