Abstract
Computer systems and applications are improving day by day and with the advancement in such area it give birth to new cyber-attacks. Man in the Middle attacks (MITM) are one of those attacks. An attack where an outsider or third party enters in between two online users, where both of the users are unaware of it. The malware in such scenario mainly monitors and have the ability to change the information which is classified onsly to these two users. Mainly it is knows as a protocol to an unauthorized user within the system who can access as well as change the information of the system without leaving any trace to the existing users. This issue is critical. This paper aims to the understanding of the MITM and to understand its different categories. Finally this paper aims to present some of mechanism for the prevention of such attacks and to identify some of the future research directions in such area
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Computer Networks and Communications publishes articles, both theoretical and practical, investigating computer networks and communications. Articles explore the architectures, protocols, and applications for networks across the full spectrum of sizes (LAN, PAN, MAN, WAN…) and uses (SAN, EPN, VPN…). Investigations related to topical areas of research are especially encouraged, including mobile and wireless networks, cloud and fog computing, the Internet of Things, and next generation technologies. Submission of original research, and focused review articles, is welcomed from both academic and commercial communities.
