Many Internet Service Providers (ISP) include an Integrated Access Device (IAD) in their offers allowing the customer to easily take advantage of all the included services. This IAD is connected to a local loop, most of the time based on the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The local loop and the IAD together constitute the access network of an ISP. To our knowledge, very few studies addressed the security of these access networks. This is the purpose of this paper. We first present a platform and a set of experiments aiming at capturing and analysing communications on the local loop. This platform allowed us to carry out a comparative study of the security of six IADs from different ISPs, by analysing the network protocols used during their boot-up process. The results of this first study revealed a security weakness for two of the six access networks, especially during the firmware update procedure of the IADs. A second platform and set of experimentsare then presented, which allow us to experimentaly test the possible exploitation scenarios of the identified weakness. Finally, we show that the security issues pointed out above, dont only impact the IAD, but also any other home Internet connected device, implementing firmware updates.","PeriodicalId":138826,"journal":{"name":"2015 11th European Dependable Computing Conference (EDCC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134399888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, such organizations are unlikely to fully trust the cloud for the most critical applications. Among other threats, soft errors are expected to increase with the shrinking geometries of transistors, and many errors are left for the software layers to correct and mask. This paper characterizes the behavior of a virtualized environment, using Xen with CentOS as the hypervisor, in presence of soft errors. One of the main threats arises from soft errors directly affecting the hypervisor, as these faults have the potential to disrupt several virtual machines at once. With this in mind, we develop a fault tolerant architecture for cloud applications, which relies on experimental data collected using fault injection to guide its design. This architecture recovers from bit-flip errors with the help of a watchdog timer, to securely reboot the hypervisor. Nevertheless, errors might still propagate outside the system, for example to a client in a client-server interaction. Despite this, our results suggest that our architecture and a few simple techniques, like timers on the client, can recover a very large fraction of errors in client-server applications with small hardware and performance overhead. Conversely, the fraction of errors requiring Byzantine fault-tolerant techniques is quite small, thus restricting those expensive approaches to highly critical applications.","PeriodicalId":138826,"journal":{"name":"2015 11th European Dependable Computing Conference (EDCC)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129591981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
