CA 2516975

A method for authenticating communication traffic includes intercepting a request directed over a network (26) from a source address to open a connection to a target computer (22) in accordance with a handshake procedure specified by a predetermined communication protocol. A reply to the request that deviates from the specified handshake procedure is sent to the source address. A response from the source address to the reply is analyzed in order to make an assessment of legitimacy of the source address. Upon determining, based on the assessment, that the source address is legitimate, the target computer is permitted to complete the handshake procedure so as to open the connection with the source address.

L'invention concerne un procédé d'authentification du trafic de communications, qui consiste à intercepter une demande, dirigée sur un réseau (26) depuis une adresse source, d'ouverture d'une connexion vers un ordinateur cible (22) selon une procédure de transfert spécifiée par un protocole de communication prédéterminé. Une réponse à la demande s'écartant de la procédure de transfert spécifiée est envoyée à l'adresse source. Une réaction de l'adresse source à la réponse est analysée en vue de la vérification de la légitimité de l'adresse source. Lors de la détermination, basée sur la vérification de la légitimité de l'adresse source, l'ordinateur cible peut exécuter la procédure de transfert en vue de l'ouverture de la connexion avec l'adresse source.
