Threat Analysis and Attack Modeling in Data-Centric Communication for Named Data Networking
摘要
The Internet has prevailed since it was first introduced in the 1970s. In the meantime, various Internet architectures were studied and tested to replace traditional IP-based Internet architecture. Information-centric networking is where data is most important rather than the host. Many ICN architectures were investigated and discussed; among them was Named Data Networking (NDN), and some of them were mentioned. It is a non-IP-based technology with a caching mechanism implemented inside the routers. Mainly, the NDN architecture consists of the consumer who consumes the data, the producer who will produce the data and make it available across the network, and the router, which has a caching mechanism that transfers request packets and data from one node to another. However, NDN also suffers various attacks, such as cache-based attacks, flooding attacks, and poisoning attacks. Studying the behavior of these attacks is a crucial part of building the internet architecture. The paper discusses the attacks affecting NDN, how these attacks affect the data, and what the attacker aims to achieve through the attack.
