Abstract

The study of IP address allocation in MANET can be categories into Stateful and Stateless. The one, special node monitors other nodes' IP address and allocates IF address. And the other, node generates IP address by itself. Nodes in MANET have mobility and restricted resource, so Stateless is more suitable than Stateful. But, in Stateless, node requires DAD process because of unique IP address allocation. And Dos attack can be happened in DAD precess. In this paper, we propose a security method on preventing DoS attack against DAD in MANET using one-way hash function. Since, Computation of one-way hash function is suitable for nodes' restricted resource character in MANET. And we evaluate performance using NS2 and compare with other security method which is CGA using signature.

MANET(Mobile Ad Hoc Network) 상에서 IP주소 할당에 관한 연구는 특정 노드가 다른 노드들의 IP주소를 모니터링 하여 할당하는 Stateful 방식과, 노드 스스로 IP주소를 생성하는 Stateless 방식이 있다. MANET 상의 노드들은 이동성과 제한된 자원의 특성으로 노드 스스로 IP 주소를 생성하는 Stateless 방식이 더 적합하다. 그러나, Stateless 방식에서는 중복되지 않는 주소를 할당하기 위한 DAD(Duplicate Address Detection)과정이 필요하고, 이 과정에서 DoS(Denial of Service) 공격이 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는, MANET의 특성에 맞춰 계산량이 적게 드는 일방향 해쉬 함수를 이용하여, DAD과정에서 발생할 수 있는 DoS 공격을 방지하는 보안 기법을 제안한다. 그리고, NS2를 이용하여 기존의 서명을 이용한 CGA(Cryptographically Generated Addresses) 방식과 비교, 성능평가 한다.
