Performance Evaluation of Non-parallelizable Client Puzzles for Defeating DoS Attacks in Authentication Protocols
نویسنده
چکیده
We provides an evaluation of non-parallelizable puzzles used to prevent DoS in authentication protocols. With an evaluation based on a simulation and performance analysis, this approach helps a responder to resist against DoS, as well as improves the throughput of services for legitimate clients. Another key strength is that the construction and verification at the responder is simple and fast.

Modular square root puzzles: Design of non-parallelizable and non-interactive client puzzles
Denial of Service (DoS) attacks aiming to exhaust the resources of a server by overwhelming it with bogus requests have become a serious threat. Especially protocols that rely on public key cryptography and perform expensive authentication handshakes may be an easy target. A well-known countermeasure against resource depletion attacks are client puzzles. The victimized server demands from the c...
متن کاملDOS-Resistant Authentication with Client Puzzles
Denial of service by server resource exhaustion has become a major security threat in open communications networks. Public-key authentication does not completely protect against the attacks because the authentication protocols often leave ways for an unauthenticated client to consume a server’s memory space and computational resources by initiating a large number of protocol runs and inducing t...
متن کاملThreshold Puzzles: The Evolution of DOS-resistant Authentication
Client puzzles have been proposed to add DOS resistance to authentication protocols. Due to the parallel design of puzzles, the technology is vulnerable to the socalled strong attacks. This paper advocates the need for time management of solved puzzle instances and introduces the “threshold puzzle” and “strong attack” concepts.
متن کاملRequirements for Client Puzzles to Defeat the Denial of Service and the Distributed Denial of Service Attacks
Client puzzle protocols represent a promising technique for defeating resource depletion Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. Practical implementations of client puzzle protocols not only reported positive results in achieving such a challenging goal (preventing DoS attacks), but also these implementations overcame, up to a certain degree, one of the first disadvantages of client puzzle protocols: ...
