Secure verification technique for defending IP spoofing attacks

Abstract EN

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the source of Internet transmission but an inadequate authentication technique paves a way for IP spoofing.

Since, IP spoofing initiates more attacks in the network, a secure authentication technique is required to defend against spoofing attacks.

In order to achieve this, in this paper, we p ropose a (SVT) for defending IP spoofing attacks.

Our technique authenticates IP address of each Autonomous System (AS) using Neighbour Authentication (NA) algorithm.

The algorithm works by validating NA table NA constructed by each node.

The NA table is transmitted securely using RC-6 encryption algorithm.

In addition to encryption, our technique use arithmetic coding to compress and decompress the NA table.

The performance of our technique is proved through simulation results.

Our technique incurs low overhead and significantly improves the performance of network
