Nawel Kortas . Security Performance and DDoS Attacks within NDN Environment. International Journal of Computer Applications. 185, 4 ( Apr 2023), 12-17. DOI=10.5120/ijca2023922691
Named-Data Networking (NDN) is one such effort that exemplifies the content-centric approach to networking. Rather than naming locations (i.e., hosts or interfaces), NDN names content, which becomes first-class entity. This permits decoupling of content from the host that strength store and/or disseminate it, facilitating automatic caching and optimizing bandwidth custom. Due to its new architecture, NDN introduces new security and privacy challenges. These challenges include data privacy, anonymity, access control and authentication. It also includes some basic security features. However, NDN’s flexibility to DDoS attacks has not been analyzed to date. In this paper, we present a specific and concrete scenario of DDoS attack in NDN. We also set mechanisms that defend against DDoS attacks such as signature and network defense.
