With internet expanding in every aspect of businesses infrastructure, it becomes more and more important to make these businesses infrastructures safe and secure to the numerous attacks perpetrated on them conspicuously when it comes to denial of service (DoS) attack. IP is an internet protocol each and every system having a unique address to use this address to communicate to the internet. The...

While biometrics technology has created new solutions to person authentication and has evolved to play a critical role in personal, national and global security, the potential for the technology to be fooled or spoofed is now widely acknowledged. For example, fingerprint verification systems can be spoofed with a synthetic material, such as gelatine, inscribed with the fingerprint ridges of an ...

Introduction Biometric devices have been suggested for use in applications from access to personal computers, automated teller machines, credit card transactions, electronic transactions to access control for airports, nuclear facilities, and border control. Given this diverse array of potential applications, biometric devices have the potential to provide additional security over traditional s...

IP spoofing is almost always used in one of the most difficult attack to defend against – Denial of Service (DoS) attack. DOS attack is evolving due to proliferation of diverse network application. Researchers have performed studies on online/offline network devices such as routers and IDS/IPS. While, the task of deep packet inspection is powerfully handled by IDS/IPS, the real time processing ...

The recent FCC ruling has proposed 3.5 GHz database-driven cognitive radio networks (CRNs) in which the database relies on a base station to determine his location to query the database for available spectrum. However, this creates a critical loophole for mounting GPS-spoofing attack, which can potentially result in interference with critical incumbent users. The adversary attacks base stations...

Denial of Service (DoS) attacks present a serious problem for Internet communications. IP source address spoofing is used by DoS and DDoS attacks on targeted victim. IP spoofing to forge the source IP address of the packet, and thereby hide the identity of source. This makes hard to detect and defend against such attack. This paper presents a token based authentication and Packet Marking mechan...

Results from Global Positioning System (GPS) spoofing tests against Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) are presented, demonstrating that PMUs are vulnerable to spoofing attacks. A GPS spoofer can manipulate PMU time stamps by injecting a counterfeit ensemble of GPS signals into the antenna of the PMU’s time reference receiver. A spoofer-induced timing error of only a few tens of microseconds cause...

Spoofing with falsified IP-MAC pair is the first step in most of the LAN based-attacks. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is stateless, which is the main cause that makes spoofing possible. Several network level and host level mechanisms have been proposed to detect and mitigate ARP spoofing but each of them has their own drawback. In this paper we propose a Host-based Intrusion Detection syste...

Wireless spoofing attacks are easy to launch and can significantly impact the performance of networks. Although the identity of a node can be verified through cryptographic authentication, conventional security approaches are not always desirable because of their overhead requirements. Using spatial information the following are performed 1) detecting spoofing attacks; 2) determining the number...
