Channel Rely in an attack against an [[Authentication]] process
+
Channel Rely is an attack against an [[Authentication]] process in certain scenarios. If an attacker manages to elicit a client to connect to him, that attacker could take advantage of the authentication mechanism and use it to authenticate against a third party server on which the client has an account with identical credentials. In addition, the attacker could even authenticate against a service running on the client itself. However, an attacker could never learn the user’s password.
