IPv6 Host-Based Self-Defense Against Rogue Route Advertisement

Abstract

The automatic address allocation of IPv6 host is a part of Neighbor Discovery Protocol. Hosts collect necessary parameters and create routing table in order to enable communication to the external network. However, this procedure does not incorporate authentication of the gateway router, which means that any malicious host can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate parameters and provide other hosts with falsified parameters. This can cause a serious effect to the routing table and inappropriate data flow to malicious nodes. This paper proposes a concept of router spoofing prevention by incorporating data verification process at the gateway router. The process employs the Path Maximum Transmission Unit Discovery (PMUTD) method and determines the test probe randomly. The fundamental parameters as well as additional parameters derived from the verification process are then used to determine the validity of the gateway router. The proposed method employs existing diagnosing tools provided with the operating system and the verification process is performed directly to the collected data.
