Title
A Moving Target Framework to Improve Network Service Accessibility
Abstract
Nowadays, the problem of Internet services accessibility has become a hot topic with more and more cyber attacks and censorship. This has prompted the rapid development of jamming-resistance infrastructure consisting of multiple dynamic access points such as proxies, anonymous communication nodes and covert communication nodes. However, the channel between user and access point has become an emerging attacking target for the adversary. Once the channel is detected and identified by the adversary, the channel will be interrupted. Though users can require new access points from the infrastructure and resume the communication to their destination, the service quality will be downgraded dramatically due to the time-consuming bootstrapping process. In this paper, a moving target framework is proposed to improve the network service accessibility, which combines both time-consuming bootstrapping and frequent and low-cost channel refreshing operations. The constant channel refreshing operations is imported to limit the adversary's ability of detecting and blocking communications, thus to make the lifespan of effective communication longer. With theoretical and simulating analysis, the optimized refreshing strategy is proposed, which can help improve service accessibility.
