How Secure and Quick is QUIC? Provable Security and Performance Analyses

Explore a comprehensive analysis of QUIC, Google's secure transport protocol, in this IEEE Symposium on Security & Privacy conference talk. Delve into the provable security and performance guarantees of QUIC in the presence of attackers. Examine the protocol's strengths and weaknesses, including its security model, forward secrecy limitations, and vulnerability to bit-flipping and replay attacks. Learn about practical implementations of these attacks and their impact on QUIC's latency advantages. Investigate the trade-offs between minimizing latency and providing robust security guarantees in performance-driven protocols. Gain insights into QUIC's protocol structure, security analysis challenges, and potential areas for future improvements in secure, low-latency transport protocols.
