Abstract
A zone walking attack is to get all existing domain information from a secured DNS server. NSEC3 protocol was proposed to defend against zone walking attacks in a secured DNS server, although NSEC3 uses more CPU time. In this paper, the authors have proposed two novel solutions to defend against the zone walking attack by addressing the efficiency issue of secure DNS protocol. They have simulated the proposed solution and analyzed it with different scenarios of the secure DNS server and attackers. The result of the experiment shows that the proposed solution Low Profiling can be effective against zone walking attacks for up to certain server-side and client-side parameters. The work can help researchers to understand how a new approach in the DNSSEC server can defend against zone walking attacks.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Interdisciplinary Telecommunications and Networking (IJITN) examines timely and important telecommunications and networking issues, problems, and solutions from a multidimensional, interdisciplinary perspective for researchers and practitioners. IJITN emphasizes the cross-disciplinary viewpoints of electrical engineering, computer science, information technology, operations research, business administration, economics, sociology, and law. The journal publishes theoretical and empirical research findings, case studies, and surveys, as well as the opinions of leaders and experts in the field. The journal''s coverage of telecommunications and networking is broad, ranging from cutting edge research to practical implementations. Published articles must be from an interdisciplinary, rather than a narrow, discipline-specific viewpoint. The context may be industry-wide, organizational, individual user, or societal. Topics Covered: -Emerging telecommunications and networking technologies -Global telecommunications industry business modeling and analysis -Network management and security -New telecommunications applications, products, and services -Social and societal aspects of telecommunications and networking -Standards and standardization issues for telecommunications and networking -Strategic telecommunications management -Telecommunications and networking cultural issues and education -Telecommunications and networking hardware and software design -Telecommunications investments and new ventures -Telecommunications network modeling and design -Telecommunications regulation and policy issues -Telecommunications systems economics
