Administration Server connection protection
Connecting the computer to the Administration Server is achieved using the Network Agent component of Kaspersky Security Center. If an intruder has sufficient rights to modify server connection settings, a risk exists of connecting the computer to an untrusted server. This would allow the intruder to apply their own group policies and, for example, disable self-defense of the application. Kaspersky Endpoint Security can prevent unauthorized reconnection of a computer to a different server. To protect the server connection, the application suggests setting a password and using the Password-Based Key Derivation Function (PBKDF2). As a result, access to the application without a password is impossible.
To ensure comprehensive protection of Kaspersky Endpoint Security and Network Agent from unauthorized access, we recommend enabling additional protection. For Kaspersky Endpoint Security, we recommend enabling Password protection. To protect Network Agent, we recommend setting an uninstall password. For details about protecting Network Agent from removal, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center Help.
Managing the connection of the computer to the Administration Server is achieved using the Administration Server connection protection task. The task lets you perform the following actions:
- Set a password to protect the server connection.
- Change the password.
- Reconnect the computer to a different server.
- Disable the server connection protection.
Authentication of the computer when connecting to the Administration Server
After setting a password, the application creates a data array using PBKDF2 transformation of the password. The application then encrypts this data array using the Network Agent key. The application uses the encrypted data array to check rights and privileges of the Administration Server for subsequent connections.
Subsequently, whenever an attempt is made to reconnect the computer to the Administration Server, the application decrypts the data array with the Network Agent key and compares it with the local copy. If they do not match, access to the application is restricted.
