FETMS: Fast and Efficient Trust Management Scheme for Information-Centric Networking in Internet of Things

Abstract

As an innovative networking paradigm in the Internet of Things, information-centric networking (ICN) has improved security than the traditional IP networks. However, it still faces a large number of security threats, especially those threats from internal attacks. The trust management technology is an effective approach for defending against internal attacks. In this paper, our contributions lie in our investigating the requirements of cybersecurity in ICN and analyzing the typical attack behaviors and defense schemes. Then, we propose a fast and efficient trust management scheme (FETMS) for defending against the on-off attack, which is an intelligent internal attack. The simulation results show that FETMS can efficiently detect and remove the malicious node in a short period of time; meanwhile, it can achieve lower latency and add its mobility.
