The network capability to accomplish its functions in a timely fashion under failures and attacks is known as survivability. Ad hoc routing protocols have been studied and extended to various domains, such as Intelligent Transport Systems (ITSs), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), underwater acoustic networks, and Internet of Things (IoT) focusing on different aspects, such as security, QoS, energy. The existing solutions proposed in this domain incur substantial overhead and eventually become burden on the network, especially when there are fewer attacks or no attack at all. There is a need that the effectiveness of these routing protocols be analyzed in the presence of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks without any intrusion detection or prevention system. This will enable us to establish and identify the inherently stable routing protocols that are capable to survive longer in the presence of these attacks. This work presents a DoS attack case study to perform theoretical analysis of survivability on node and network level in the presence of DoS attacks. We evaluate the performance of reactive and proactive routing protocols and analyse their survivability. For experimentation, we use NS-2 simulator without detection or prevention capabilities. Results show that proactive protocols perform better in terms of throughput, overhead and packet drop.

Mobile Ad-hoc Networks provide communication without a centralized infrastructure, which makes them suitable for communication in disaster areas or when quick deployment is needed. On the other hand, they are susceptible to malicious exploitation and have to face different challenges at different layers due to its open Ad-hoc network structure which lacks previous security measures. Denial of service (DoS) attack is one that interferes with the radio transmission channel causing a jamming attack. In this kind of attack, an attacker emits a signal that interrupts the energy of the packets causing many errors in the packet currently being transmitted. In harsh environments where there is constant traffic, a jamming attack causes serious problems; therefore measures to prevent these types of attacks are required. The objective of this paper is to carry out the simulation of the jamming attack on the nodes and determine the DoS attacks in OPNET so as to obtain better results. We have used effective anomaly detection system to detect the malicious behaviour of the jammer node and analyzed the results that deny channel access by jamming in the mobile Ad-hoc networks.

With the enhancements in existing major industries, cloud computing-based converging services have been created, as well as value-added industries. A variety of converging services are now provided, from personalized services up to industrial services. In Korea, they have become the driving force behind existing industries throughout the whole economy, but mainly in finance, mobile systems, social computing, and home services, based on cloud services. However, not only denial of service (DOS) and distributed DOS (DDOS) attacks have occurred, but also attack techniques targeting core data in storage servers. Even security threats that are hardly detected, such as multiple attacks on a certain target, APT, and backdoor penetration have also occurred. To supplement defenses against these, in this article, a protocol for authority management is designed to provide users with safe storage services. This protocol was studied in cases of integration between a cloud environment and big data-based technology, security threats, and their requirements. Also studied were amalgamation examples and their requirements in technology-based cloud environments and big data. With the protocol suggested, based on this, security was analyzed for attack techniques that occur in the existing cloud environment, as well as big data-based techniques, in order to find improvements in session key development of approximately 55%.

We propose a new binding update(BU) protocol between mobile node(CN) and correspondent node(CN) for the purpose of preventing redirect attacks and DoS attacks observed from the existing BU protocols and enhancing the efficiency of the BU protocol. Home agent plays a role of both authentication server validating BU message and session key distribution center for MN and CN. Also propose the stateless Diffie-Hellman key agreement based on cryptographically generated address (CGA). Suity of our proposed Protocol is analyzed and compared with other protocols. The proposed protocol is more efficient than previous schemes in terms of the number of message flows and computation overhead and is secure against both redirect and DoS attacks.

It is very important to detect and remove original sources of various attacks through networks. One of the effective method to detect the sources is traceback systems. In this paper, we design and implement an agent-based traceback system that does not require the reaction of routers and administrators and does not need numerous log data. In the design, we introduce a traceback server and traceback agents in each network Using sniffing and spoofing, the server transmits a packet with a specific message. The agents detect the packet and provide the information for the server to trace back the original source.

With the development of network technology, the application area has also been diversified, and protocols for various purposes have been developed and the amount of traffic has exploded. Therefore, it is difficult for the network administrator to meet the stability and security standards of the network with the existing traditional switching and routing methods. Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new networking paradigm proposed to solve this problem. SDN enables efficient network management by programming network operations. This has the advantage that network administrators can flexibly respond to various types of attacks. In this paper, we design a threat level management module, an attack detection module, a packet statistics module, and a flow rule generator that collects attack information through the controller and switch, which are components of SDN, and detects attacks based on these attributes of SDN. It proposes a method to block denial of service attacks (DoS) of advanced attackers by programming and applying honeypot. In the proposed system, the attack packet can be quickly delivered to the honeypot according to the modifiable flow rule, and the honeypot that received the attack packets analyzed the intelligent attack pattern based on this. According to the analysis results, the attack detection module and the threat level management module are adjusted to respond to intelligent attacks. The performance and feasibility of the proposed system was shown by actually implementing the proposed system, performing intelligent attacks with various attack patterns and attack levels, and checking the attack detection rate compared to the existing system.

With the rapid increase in the number of mobile terminals, demand for wireless technologies has sharply increased these days. While wireless communication provides advantages such as ease of deployment, mobility of terminals, continuity of session, and almost comparable transmission bandwidth to the wired communication, it has vulnerability to malicious radio attacks such as eavesdropping, denial of service, session hijacking, and jamming. Among a variety of methods of preventing wireless attacks, the MTD(Moving Target Defense) is the technique for improving the security capability of the defense system by constantly changing the ability of the system to be attacked. In this paper, in order to develop a resilient software defined radio communication testbed system, we present a novel MTD approach to change dynamically and randomly the radio parameters such as modulation scheme, operating frequency, packet size. The probability of successful attack on the developed MTD-based SDR communication system has been analysed in a mathematical way and verified through simulation.

In this paper, we proposed the methodology for security testing using block-based file fault injection. When fault is inserted into software, we consider the format of file in order to efficiently reduce the error that is caused by mismatch of format of file. The Vulnerability the methodology focuses on is related to memory processing, such as buffer overflow, null pointer reference and so on. We implemented the automatic tool to apply the methodology to image file format and named the tool ImageDigger. We executed fault-injection focused on WMF and EMF file format using ImageDigger, and found 10 DOS(Denial of Service) in Windows Platform. This methodology can apply to block-based file format such as MS Office file.

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.

IPSec(Internet Protocol Security) is a framework for a set of protocols for security at the network or packet processing layer of network communication. IPSec is providing authentication, integrity and confidentiality security services. The specifications for Internet Key Exchange(IKEv1) were released to the world. Some criticisms of IKEv1 were that it was too complex and endeavored to define too much functionality in one place. Multiple options for multiple scenarios were built into the specification. The problem is that some of the included scenarios are rarely if ever encountered. For IPsec to work, the sending and receiving devices must chare a Public Key. This is accomplished through a protocol known as Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol/Oakley(ISAKMP/Oakley), which allows the receiver to obtain a public key and authenticate the sender using digital certificates. This thesis is a study on the performance improvement of the security transmission using the SSFNet(Scalable Simulation Framework Network Models)
