Secure Routing Using Factual Correctness
نویسندگان
چکیده
The routing protocols in use today operate on implicit trust among the different routers. Specifically, the distance vector routing (DVR) protocols compute routing tables in a distributed manner, based on this implicit trust. This trust model however fails to ensure the factual correctness of the routing updates, which is very critical for secure routing. We propose a neighbor update propagation model to ensure factual correctness and detect malicious activity by any subverted router. We also propose a secure DVR protocol based on this model using simple cryptographic primitives, and with minimal operational overhead.

Routing is one of the key functions of the Internet, and routing protocols form an inseparable part of the Internet infrastructure. Without accurate routing information, packet forwarding can be drastically affected and potentially even cause a network-wide blackout. The routing protocols in use today were designed during the more benign days of the Internet and operate on implicit trust betwee...
متن کاملSecure Routing Protocols Using Consistency Checks and S-RIP
Internet routing infrastructures are vulnerable to various attacks due to the lack of strong authentication mechanisms, software vulnerabilities/misconfiguration, and the risky assumption of a trustworthy and cooperative environment. Existing solutions do not solve the problem because they neither validate factual correctness of routing updates nor support incremental deployment. In this paper,...

In large and dense mobile ad hoc networks, position-based routing protocols can offer significant performance improvement over topology-based routing protocols by using location information to make forwarding decisions. However, there are several potential security issues for the development of position-based routing protocols. In this paper, we propose a secure geographic forwarding (SGF) mech...

Although a multitude of routing protocols exist for wireless sensor networks developed for various application domains, secure sensor network routing protocols do not exhibit such variety. In addition, those few sensor network routing protocols that were developed with security in mind still lack a formal proof of their security properties. In order to remedy this situation, in this paper, we p...
