Certificate-less Mechanism for Preventing IP Prefix Hijacks Among Autonomous Systems
Bo Yang · Journal of Chinese Computer Systems · 2011
IP prefix hijacking is one of the top threats on the Internet.Currently,the mechanisms for preventing IP prefix hijacks based on asymmetric cryptographies are confronted with problems including public keys storaging,keys escrow and too heavy overhead of online authentications.All these problems prevent these mechanisms from practically deploying.From this,we authenticate the ownerships of IP prefixes using signature scheme of no certificate.Our preventing mechanism doesn′t need public key certificates and key escrow.The analyses show that our mechanism can improve performance at many aspects.It may push ahead the practical deploys of mechanisms for preventing IP prefix hijacks.
