The phrase "impersonation attack" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in the context of cybersecurity to describe a type of attack where an individual pretends to be someone else to gain unauthorized access or information.
Example: "The company implemented new security measures to prevent impersonation attacks on their network."
Alternatives: "identity theft attack" or "masquerade attack."
Impersonation attack: Only inside attackers can do impersonation attack.
It should be noted that it is easier to launch such an impersonation attack when using pre-authentication than when using normal authentication, as an attacker does not need to be on the same physical link as the legitimate peer to send a pre-authentication trigger to the peer.
The proposed protocol is not only secure in the AVISPA software, but it also secure against relevant numerous security attacks such as man-in-the-middle attack, impersonation attack, parallel attack, key-compromise impersonation attack, etc.
However, we found that Hsiang and Shih's protocol is susceptible to replay attack, impersonation attack and stolen smart card attack.
Furthermore, a dual authentication process is performed on the service and at the application layer to minimize the possibility of identity-high jacked or impersonation attack.
We demonstrate that Jiang et al.'s scheme does not withstand insider attack, on-line and off-line password guessing attacks, and user impersonation attack.
(5) Impersonation attacks: An attacker may impersonate a legal user by forging an authentication request {T ID, mac U = MAC key(U ID, sk)}.
Impersonation attacks are only possible for inside attackers.
We exploit security flaws that have gone unnoticed in the design and present three attacks: de-synchronization, replay and reader impersonation attacks.
In this paper, we provide a defense mechanism to Kim Lee Yoo's ID-based password authentication scheme, which is vulnerable to impersonation attacks and resource exhaustion attacks.
We design mechanisms to protect integrity of the exchanged information and defend against node impersonation attacks so that the localization procedures will be robust against malicious activities.
