To enhance the efficiency of network, content-centric networking (CCN), one of future Internet architectures, allows network nodes to temporally cache transmitted contents and then to directly respond to request messages which are relevant to previously cached contents. Also, since CCN uses a hierarchical content-name, not a host identity like source/destination IP address, for request/response packet routing and CCN request message does not include requester's information for privacy protection, contents-providers/ network nodes can not identify practical requesters sending request messages. So to send back relevant contents, network nodes in CCN records both a request message and its incoming interfaces on Pending Interest Table (PIT). Then the devices refer PIT to return back a response message. If PIT is exhausted, the device can not normally handle request/response messages anymore. Hence, it is needed to detect/react attack to exhaust PIT. Hence, in this paper, we propose improved detection/reaction schemes against attacks to exhaust PIT. In practice, for fine-grained control, this proposal is applied to each incoming interface. Also, we propose the message framework to control attack traffic and evaluate the performance of our proposal.

In this paper, low-rate TCP attack as one of shrew attacks is considered and the scaling based dynamic time warping (S-DTW) algorithm is introduced. The low-rate TCP attack can not be detected by the detection method for the previous flooding DoS/DDoS (Denial of Service/Distirbuted Denial of Service) attacks due to its low average traffic rate. It, however, is a periodic short burst that exploits the homogeneity of the minimum retransmission timeout (RTO) of TCP flows and then some pattern matching mechanisms have been proposed to detect it among legitimate input flows. A DTW mechanism as one of detection approaches has proposed to detect attack input stream consisting of many legitimate or attack flows, and shown a depending method as well. This approach, however, has a problem that legitimate input stream may be caught as an attack one. In addition, it is difficult to decide a threshold for separation between the legitimate and the malicious. Thus, the causes of this problem are analyzed through simulation and the scaling by maximum auto-correlation value is executed before computing the DTW. We also discuss the results on applying various scaling approaches and using standard deviation of input streams monitored.

To enhance network efficiency, content-centric networking (CCN) proposes that intermediated network nodes on a content-delivery path temporally cache transmitted contents. Then if an intermediated node receives a content request message (Interest) for previously cached content, the node directly transmits the cached content as a response message (Data) to requestors and finishes the transmission of the received Interest. Since Interest is performed by intermediated network nodes, it is possible to efficiently transmit contents and to effectively solve a network congestion problem caused around contents sources. For that, CCN utilizes both content store to temporarily cache content and pending Interest table (PIT) to record Interest incoming Face. However, it has mentioned the possibility of denial service attack using both the limitation of PIT resource and fake Interests. In this paper, we briefly describe the presented PIT flooding attack utilizing fake Interest. Then we introduce new attack possibility using fake Data and propose a countermeasure for the proposed attack. Also we evaluate the performance of our proposal.

최근들어 네트워크 트래픽 폭주 공격에 의한 피해 사례가 속출하고 있다. 지난해 7월, 전세계적으로 많은 피해를 일으켰던 코드레드(CodeRed)공격뿐만 아니라 지난 1월 전국의 인터넷망을 마비시켰던 1.25대란 역시 트래픽 폭주 공격으로 국가적인 차원에서 많은 손실을 일으켰던 대표적인 사례이다. 흔히 인터넷 대란이라고 일컬어지는 트래픽 폭주 공격 및 웹해킹은 갈수록 경제적인 손실 및 피해규모가 커지고 기법도 다양해지도 있어, 트래픽 유형 분석 및 대응에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 본 고는 이러한 트래픽 폭주 공격의 개념을 정의하고 유형별로 분석하고자 한다. 또한 소규모 망에서 기존의 네트워크 장비 및 서버를 이용하여 이 공격들을 대응할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

In this paper, we describe a security problem of IPsec. And we propose a solution for this problem. The problem is a fragility of IPsec Gateway which is used in tunnel mode. The role of IPsec Gateway is encrypting or decrypting IPsec packets. Because of the role of IPsec Gateway, IPsec Gateway suffers overhead for decrypting numerous packets. Adversaries can easily attack IPsec Gateway using a DDoS attack. To solve this problem, we propose the "Priority based Random Packet Drop" method. In this method, the white list which is a list of normal users is created. After that, according to the frequency of uses, the method marks priorities of random drops to the white list. If anomalous traffic appeared, this method will drop many packets which consist of anomalous traffic. In simple experiment, we show our solution is proper to defend IPsec Gateway. For this experiment, we use empirical backbone traffic which includes DoS attacks.

인터넷전화의 활성화와 더불어 SIP 프로토콜의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 최근 DDoS 공격이 주요위협으로 이슈가 되고 있으며, 향후 SIP관련 서비스 대상 서비스 거부 공격 위협도 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 본 논문에서는 SIP 프로토콜의 특성을 이용한 SIP서비스 거부 공격들의 유형을 살펴보고, SIP 프로토콜의 특성을 이용한 서비스거부 공격 탐지를 위한 고려사항을 바탕으로 분석시스템 아키텍처를 제안한다. SIP서비스 거부공격의 유형은 분류 기준에 따라 다양할 수 있으나, 본 논문에서는 SIP 프로토콜의 특성을 이용한 공격 기법을 대상으로 한다. SIP서비스 거부 공격 트래픽 분석을 위해 정보수집, 정보분석, 정보관리 기능을 고려한다.

The IPSec is a basic security mechanism of the IPv6 protocol, which can guarantee an integrity and confidentiality of data that transmit between two corresponding hosts. Also, both data and communication subjects can be authenticated using the IPSec mechanism. However, it is difficult that the IPSec mechanism protects major important network from attacks which transmit mass abnormal IPSec traffic in session-configuration or communication phases. In this paper, we present a design of the security system that can effectively detect and defeat abnormal IPSec traffic, which is encrypted by the ESP extension header, using the IPSec Session and Configuration table without any decryption. This security system is closely based on a multi-tier attack mitigation mechanism which is based on network bandwidth management and aims to counteract DDoS attacks and DoS effects of worm activity.
