Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Allows detection of capture-replay attacks by showing the replayed logon's timestamp as the last logon.
Protects against replay of captured session tokens or credentials by requiring authenticated, fresh session channels.
Wireless link protections commonly incorporate replay protection, reducing the exploitability of capture-replay weaknesses.
Accurate synchronized time enables tight timestamp windows that directly limit capture-replay windows in authentication protocols.
