A large portion of Internet traffic passes through middleboxes that read or modify messages. However, as more traffic is protected with TLS, middleboxes are becoming unable to provide their functions. To leverage middlebox functionality while preserving communication security, secure middlebox channel protocols have been designed as extensions of TLS. A key idea is that the endpoints explicitly incorporate middleboxes into the TLS handshake and grant each middlebox either the read or the write permission for their messages. Because each middlebox has the least data access privilege, these protocols are resilient against the compromise of a single middlebox. However, the existing studies have not comprehensively analyzed the communication security under the scenarios where multiple middleboxes are compromised. In this paper, we present novel attacks that break the security of the existing protocols under such scenarios and then modify maTLS, the state-of-the-art protocol, so that all the attacks are prevented with marginal overhead.
