High bandwidth IPSec gateways and ICMP

Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)i is essential for performance aspects in particular for Path Maximum Transmission Unit discovery but is also known to be a cause of attacks. In collaboration with Planet, we demonstrate, through a real exploit on a testbed, that an external attacker having eavesdropping and traffic injection capabilities in the black untrusted network, without any access to clear-text (thesis of Ludovic Jacquin). This impacts out current research on trusted outsourced computations.
