Abstract
Information Centric Networking (ICN) is a new communication paradigm for the future Internet that focuses on contents rather than infrastructures or end-points. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks that may occur in many scenarios in an ICN, can overwhelm ICN routing and caching resources. In this paper, we focus on routing related DDoS attacks from both publisher and subscriber points of view and how they impact ICNs. We then propose a generic solution independent of a specific ICN architecture. This solution is based on a number of countermeasures: request satisfaction ratio, request rate limit, rating for contents and publishers, and test message. We present the implementation results, which show that the solution mitigates the routing related DDoS attacks and efficiently enhances the ICN performance in the existence of these attacks.
