Current and New Types of DoS Attacks in Named Data Networking Architecture

� As telecommunication and Internet are becoming an integrated system, user demand is continuously increasing. The forty years old internet has reached its threshold and the current IP based host centric Internet architecture needs to be replaced by an architecture which provides better solution to manage mobility, QoS, Security. Content-Centric Networking is an emerging networking architecture and specific candidate for next generation Internet, which focuses on content distribution which was not served effectively by IP[1]. Named Data Networking is an example of CCN, a research project under the NSF Future Internet Architectures program[2]. In last few years DDoS attacks have become major threat for current Internet. Resilience to Distributed Denial of- Service (DoS) attacks that plague today’s Internet is a major issue for any new architecture and deserves full attention. In DDoS packets from large number of compromised hosts are sent to victim’s network which overloads the network. In NDN, end users requests the desired data by sending a request and the data producer sends back the requested data upon request only, eliminating existing DDoS attack. In this paper I have shown how NDN architecture’s inherent properties tackle current DDoS attacks and new types of DoS attacks
