Mitigation of Interest Flooding Attack and Controlled Packet Propagation in Named Internet of Vehicles

초록

Traditional networks become more difficult and complex due to their location-based communication policies. Researchers have proposed a new way of communication to overcome issues of traditional networks named Named Data Networking (NDN). In NDN, packets carry the name of the data instead of the source or destination IP addresses. Similarly, the Internet of Vehicles (IoVs) is a developing application of the Internet of Things (IoT) that has the potential to significantly increase network communication. To communicate helpful information with a particular group of vehicles, Named Internet of Vehicles (NIoVs) uses a broadcast pattern. However, there are several issues with security and packet duplication in NIoVs. In this paper, a solution related to the routing issue named broadcast storm within NIoV architecture is proposed. Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are also discussed in the context of NIoVs. A novel method called "Interest Flooding Attack Countermeasure and Controlled Packet Propagation (IFAC-CPP)" is proposed to counter both broadcast storms and DoS attacks. The first part of the proposed scheme deals with the problem of flooding attacks, while the second part deals with the issue of broadcast storms. This scheme is implemented in the communication environment of NIoVs in a highway scenario, with a focus on safety applications. Simulation results are compared with PP-FIRM and PP-FIRM with an attacker, demonstrating that the proposed scheme in this paper achieves better results in terms of network performance and efficiency.
