DS-ARP: a new detection scheme for ARP spoofing attacks based on routing trace for ubiquitous environments

Area of Science:

• Computer Science
• Network Security

Background:

• Ubiquitous computing environments face significant security risks and threats.
• The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) lacks inherent security measures, making it vulnerable to attacks like ARP spoofing.
• ARP spoofing allows attackers to impersonate hosts and access sensitive information.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose a new detection scheme for ARP spoofing attacks.
• To enhance security in ubiquitous network environments.
• To protect internal networks from ARP spoofing threats.

Main Methods:

• The proposed scheme employs routing trace analysis to detect changes in network path movements.
• It operates by monitoring network traffic patterns.
• The method does not require modifications to the existing ARP protocol.

Main Results:

• The routing trace method effectively identifies ARP spoofing attempts.
• The scheme demonstrates high constancy and compatibility with existing network infrastructure.
• It is simple to implement and stable, avoiding complex algorithms.

Conclusions:

• The proposed ARP spoofing detection scheme offers a robust solution for securing ubiquitous computing.
• Its compatibility and simplicity make it a practical approach for network protection.
• Enhanced network security is achievable without complex system modifications.
