A MUTUAL KEY AGREEMENT PROTOCOL TO MITIGATE REPLAYING ATTACK IN EXPRESSIVE INTERNET ARCHITECTURE (XIA)Mutual Key Agreement Protocol • June 24th, 2014
Contract Type FiledJune 24th, 2014Several Future Internet (FI) architectures have been pro- posed to address the problems of the Internet including flexibility (so called IP bottleneck), host-based address- ing (addressing a host rather than the content itself), and security. In this paper, we focus on eXpressive Internet Ar- chitecture (XIA) as it is the most secure and open-source Content-Centric Network (CCN). CCN is claimed by the Future Content Networks (FCN) Group to be the Future Internet (FI). However, XIA does not have any mechanisms to mitigate the replaying attack, thus, this paper proposes and implements a solution to mitigate it. Several existing solutions have been analyzed to derive the requirements for the proposed solution. By implementing the proposed proto- col, XIA is now able to mitigate all of the reviewed network attacks. The evaluation shows that the proposed solution is more secure and less complex over the existing solutions.
