Title
Forensic Analysis for Epidemic Attacks in Federated Networks
Abstract
We present the design of a Network Forensic Alliance (NFA), to allow multiple administrative domains (ADs) to jointly locatethe origin of epidemic spreading attacks. ADs in the NFA collaborate in a distributed protocol for post-mortem analysis ofworm-like attacks. Information exchange between any two participating ADs is limited to traffic records that are known toboth sides, maintaining the privacy of participants. Such an architecture is incentive-compatible 驴 participants benefit bygaining better local investigative capabilities, even with partial deployment. Further, we show that by sharing local investigationresults, ADs can achieve global investigative capabilities that are comparable to a centralized implementation with accessto global traffic records. Our evaluation demonstrates that it is feasible for large-scale attack investigation to be incrementallydeployed in an Internet-like federation.
