A New Ciphersuite for Remote Desktop Protocol

Yuan Zheng · Beijing Youdian Xueyuan xuebao · 2008

Remote Desktop Protocol can make clients to access the remote servers,but it is vulnerable to man-in-middle attacks.A new password-based ciphersuite was proposed for the remote desktop protocol in this paper.It devised a key agreement protocol with the original password of RDP.The new ciphersuite can offer strong authentication.It doesn't change the computation of keys.This ciphersuite is provably secure in random oracle model.The handshake of RDP that adopts this ciphersuite can avoid man-in-middle attacks.It is the first attempt at drafting provably secure key agreement ciphersuites for RDP.
