Re: [XCON] correction to section 8.2 question

Well, I haven't think myself in all the possible attacks but the most important ones related to confidentiality could be:

 

- An attacker may attempt to get access to confidential information from eavesdropping.

 

- An attacker may attempt to modify the messages exchange btw the client and server (that's more related to integrity though)

Subject: [XCON] correction to section 8.2 question

 

To clarify, the following question I submitted was in refference to "draft-ietf-xcon-common-data-model-13.txt":

 

Section 8.2 discusses confidentiality, and it seems that encryption and
end-to-end authentication provide the most protection for XCON.  Since
hacking has been quite newsworthy in the recent weeks, I am interested to
know what kind of attack XCON would be susceptible to, if any.
