Abstract

Cache poisoning attacks in Vehicular Named Data Networking (V-NDN) pose a serious threat by injecting false content into the Content Store, compromising network integrity. This paper proposes a threshold-based reputation algorithm to detect and mitigate such attacks in V-NDN using ndnSIM with a V2V multi-hop topology of 31 nodes across three urban road segments. The algorithm assigns reputation values to all nodes, applying penalties for malicious behavior and blocking nodes below a threshold of 0.5. Two scenarios are evaluated: an attack scenario without mitigation and an attack scenario with the proposed reputation algorithm. Results show a Detection Rate (DR) of 75%, False Positive Rate (FPR) of 0%, and False Cache Poisoning Rate (FCP) of 5.87%, with Cache Hit Ratio (CHR) improving from 28.94% to 30.99% after mitigation, confirming the algorithm's effectiveness in detecting and mitigating cache poisoning attacks in dynamic vehicular network environments.

Detecting Forwarding Misbehaviour in LEO Satellite Networks with ML-Based Trust Models

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations are increasingly deployed to support global network coverage as Space Information Networks (SINs). However, they can suffer from forwarding misbehaviour, where satellites may drop packets either selfishly to save resources or maliciously to disrupt communication. As selfis...
