Border Gateway Protocol Security

July 17, 2007
Author(s)
D. Richard Kuhn, Kotikalapudi Sriram, Douglas Montgomery
This document introduces the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), explains its importance to the internet, and provides a set of best practices that can help in protecting BGP. Best practices described here are intended to be implementable on nearly all

Programmable Active Services for SIP

October 1, 2006
Author(s)
Jean Deruelle, Mudumbai Ranganathan, Douglas C. Montgomery
We have implemented a quantum key distribution (QKD) system with polarization encoding at 850 nm over 1 km of optical fiber. The high-speed management of the bit-stream, generation of random numbers and processing of the sifting algorithm are all handled

Study of BGP Peering Session Attacks and Their Impacts on Routing Performance

October 1, 2006
Author(s)
Kotikalapudi Sriram, Douglas C. Montgomery, Oliver Borchert, Okhee Kim, David R. Kuhn
We present a detailed study of the potential impact of BGP peering session attacks and the resulting exploitation of Route Flap Damping (RFD) that cause network-wide routing disruptions. We consider canonical grid as well as down-sampled realistic

Autonomous System (AS) Isolation under Randomized BGP Session Attacks with RFD Exploitation

April 1, 2006
Author(s)
Kotikalapudi Sriram, Douglas Montgomery, Oliver Borchert, Okhee Kim, D. Richard Kuhn
BGP peering session attacks are known to drive routes into route flap damping (RFD) suppression states and thus cause isolations between autonomous systems (ASes) and destinations. We present a detailed study of the impact of BGP peering session attacks

An Empirical Analysis of IPv6 Transition Mechanism

February 20, 2006
Author(s)
M K. Shin, Darrin J. Santay, Douglas Montgomery
We examine the performance of multimodal biometric authentication systems using state-of-the-art Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) fingerprint and face biometric systems on a population approaching 1,000 individuals. Majority of prior studies of multimodal

Technical and Economic Assessment of Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)

January 31, 2006
Author(s)
Gregory C. Tassey, Douglas C. Montgomery, Alfred Lee, Tim Sloan
The President’s National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace (National Strategy) directed the Secretary of Commerce to form a task force to examine the most recent iteration of the Internet Protocol, IP version 6 (IPv6). The President charged the task force with

Toward Secure Routing Infrastructures

January 1, 2006
Author(s)
Douglas C. Montgomery, Sandra Murphy
Routing infrastructures are possibly the most vital, complex, and fragile components in the global information infrastructure. They are also the least protected from attack. In the public Internet, for example, the IP routing infrastructure comprises tens

DNSSEC Test and Measurement Tools: Secure Zone Integrity Tester v0.9.3, Zone Monitoring Tool v0.9, dns Trace : traffic statistics collection tool, querysim : DNS query workload monitoring tool

October 1, 2005
Author(s)
Scott W. Rose, Darrin J. Santay, Douglas Montgomery, Kevin L. Mills, Stephen Quirolgico, M Ramaswamy
We have implemented a quantum key distribution (QKD) system with polarization encoding at 850 nm over 1 km of optical fiber. The high-speed management of the bit-stream, generation of random numbers and processing of the sifting algorithm are all handled

IPv6: Hope, Hype, and (Red) Herrings

May 1, 2005
Author(s)
Douglas C. Montgomery
We examine the performance of multimodal biometric authentication systems using state-of-the-art Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) fingerprint and face biometric systems on a population approaching 1,000 individuals. Majority of prior studies of multimodal

Characterizing the Risks and Costs of BGP Insecurity/Security

March 1, 2005
Author(s)
