Asymmetric cryptography can be deployed to stop a private key from being removed from any device, which can stop the key from being exploited in the file system or in memory.

Using secure enclaves, part of the system on a chip (SOC) from all the major semiconductor chip vendors, including Intel, Apple, AMD, AWS, ARM and more, to store and control the private keys offers a major architectural advantage in modern multi-factor authentication.

7. The Role of Asymmetric Cryptography and Secure Enclaves

First generation, password-based MFA generates an attack surface area in motion and every device remains an attack surface at rest.

In this episode, Rebuilding Authentication for Zero Trust, Jasson walks through how utilizing encryption and employing asymmetric cryptography can eliminate the in motion attack surface and minimize that at rest vulnerability.

6. Rebuilding Authentication for Zero Trust

What is device trust?

Device trust means you have complete visibility and control over managed and unmanaged devices to determine who and what has access based on risk modeling. 

It's not just about whether a device is managed; even managed devices can be misconfigured or require complex Mobile Device Management (MDM) systems. Basic device information such as geolocation, serial numbers, device types, and IP information is insufficient as this data only provides a snippet of access control measures. In addition, you can’t rely on a static evaluation of a device's security posture, which can change over time. For example, if a user turns off their device firewall or downloads malicious software, the security of that device could be compromised.

Is MDM Enough for Device Trust? - Cybersecurity Mythbusters

Joshua from Beyond Identity takes us through Attacker in the Middle attacks against MFA, also known as Man in the Middle Attacks.

As a result of these attacks on MFA, CISA’s new guidance emphasizes the need for phishing-resistant MFA, that does not utilize phishable factors like passwords, one-time codes, SMS, or email links.

Attacker in the Middle - How MFA is Bypassed

MFA incorporates knowledge, possession, and inherence to layer protection around a username and password.

But possession proof, in the form of codes, one-time passwords, sms, push, and magic links increase the attack surface and, perhaps worse, raise the illusion of authentication security. 

In episode 5 of Beyond Identity CTO Jasson Casey's Zero Trust Authentication Master Class, well investigate a common Man-in-the-Middle attack framework – no ordinary “catphish” if you follow the logic.

This is Multi-Factor Authentication and Phishing Explained.

5. Multi-Factor Authentication and Phishing Explained

Authentication in today’s world is based on delegation and federation using SAML and OIDC protocols to verify and establish trust between users and apps. 

In episode 4. How Delegation and Federation Work, of Beyond Identity CTO Jasson Casey's Zero Trust Authentication Master Class, we'll understand the role of Identity Providers (IDPs), the challenge-response concepts involved in authentication, and the differences between SAML and OIDC.

4. How Delegation and Federation Work - Zero Trust Authentication Master Class

Weak authentication, based on usernames and passwords, has been surrounded with timers and codes, providing only a modicum of additional protection. This can lull identity and security teams into a false confidence. Conversely, they also increase the surface area available for exploit by attackers.

In episode 3. Augments Authentication Flows of his Zero Trust Authentication Master Class, Beyond Identity CTO Jasson Casey explains these pitfalls further.

3. Augments Authentication Flows - Zero Trust Authentication Master Class

Most credentials are some form of symmetric, or shared secret (like passwords). The problem is that a shared secret must be shared and transmitted between a client and a server. Application load balancers, proxies, and content distribution networks ensure that these secrets touch the memory of many machines between the client and the server. 

If any of these machines were to become compromised, the shared secrets it contains are also compromised. Users can also unknowingly or unwittingly divulge the shared secret. 

Preventing credential theft requires the realization that the movement of the credential is bad. Every time the credential moves, it increases the surface area that must be protected. 

If a credential never moved, it would have a surface area the size of its host computer.

Asymmetric cryptography provides the technical means of creating unmovable credentials. Create an asymmetric key pair, share the public key, don’t move the private key, and sign challenges with your private key. This is a simple mechanism that chips away at the problem.

2. Authentication Flows Explained - Zero Trust Authentication Master Class

The term Zero Trust is ubiquitous in the security industry, leaving many to believe it is merely a marketing term. Jasson Casey, our CTO, dissects the key concepts of Zero Trust using the NIST framework and the essential role that strong authentication plays in a Zero Trust world.

The first thing that we really want to focus on is what is our definition of zero trust? We're going to actually just borrow the definition that comes out of NIST. NIST has a document called 800-207.

And in there they actually call out a couple of motivating problems, really setting up the stage for what is zero trust trying to solve. The preview really is, assume you're operating in a hostile environment, and kind of establish trust as you need to with respect to what someone's actually trying to do. 

But more specifically, one of the first problems they actually talk about is that there is no implicit trust based on any sort of special location in the network.

A Risk-Based Case For Zero Trust Authentication

A TPM (or Trusted Platform Module) is an industry standard component that protects keys that can be used for authentication.

The important property of TPMs is that the private key is protected from even the lowest level of the operating system. This property protects a TPM key from phishing and other attacks that may expose it. It is available on most PCs, networking equipment, and industrial controllers. 

But can a TPM be hacked? Our Security Architect, Monty Wiseman is with us to help us find out!
