US Patent 11757827 Network security from host and network impersonation

Systems and methods may include sending, to a network registrar, an extended duplicate address request (EDAR) message including a first nonce generated by a host computing device, and receiving, from the network registrar, an extended duplicate address confirmation (EDAC) message including a second nonce and a first signature, a first nonce pair including the first nonce and the second nonce being signed by the network registrar via a first key pair of the network registrar via the first signature. The systems and methods may further include sending a first neighbor advertisement (NA) message to the host computing device including the second nonce. The second nonce and a public key of the network registrar verifies the first signature from the network registrar, the verification of the first signature indicating that a router through which the host computing device connects to a network is not impersonating the network.
