Abstract
Systems and methods for improving encrypted transmissions between nodes in a network are disclosed. In one embodiment, two sets of nonce values are used to monitor communications between each pair of network devices, wherein one set of nonce values is used for packets transmitted from a first node to a second node, and the second set of nonce values is used for packets transmitted from the second node to the first node. These nonce values are used to encrypt packets transmitted between the two nodes. In this way, the probability of loss of synchronization may be reduced, especially in configurations where there is an intermediate node between the first node and the second node. In another embodiment, the possibility of a delay attack is minimized by the intentional resetting of security parameters.
