초록

웹사이트 로그인 정보 및 결제 정보들을 편리하게 관리하기 위해 패스워드 매니저를 이용하는 사용자가 증가하고있다. 패스워드 매니저는 사용자의 웹사이트 로그인 정보 및 결제 정보들을 서버상에 암호화하여 저장하고, 사용자는 서버에 접속하여 패스워드 정보들을 수신하여 사용한다. 따라서, 공격자가 패스워드 매니저와 서버와의 통신 메시지를 스니핑하여 메시지 내용을 해독할 수 있거나, 또는 공격자가 사용자의 메모리 정보를 탈취하여 메시지 내용을 해독할 수 있으면, 사용자의 모든 패스워드 정보가 노출되는 심각한 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 주요 패스워드 매니저들의 클라이언트-서버 통신 및 암호 방법을 분석하고, 클라이언트-서버 통신에 심각한 취약점이 있음을보인다.

Abstract

Many users are using password managers in order to conveniently manage several usernames and passwords needed toaccess the web sites. The password manager encrypts and stores several passwords on the server, and the user accesses theserver to receive the password information. Thus, if an attacker can sniff a message between the password manager and theserver and decrypt the message content, or if an attacker can steal the computer’s memory and decrypt the message content,then all the passwords will be exposed to the attacker. In this paper, we analyze the client-server communications andencryption process of password mangers and show there is a serious vulnerability in memory attack.
