A survey on MITM and its countermeasures in the TLS handshake protocol

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a standard cryptographic protocol that establishes a secure session between a client and a server. TLS consists of two sub protocols, a handshake protocol and a record protocol. The handshake protocol establishes the secure session so that two parties communicate securely. However, Man-In-The-Middle attack (MITM) is possible during the handshaking. We show previous MITM detection schemes and their key feature. In addition, we analyze whether previous schemes can prevent attacks or not.
