Security analysis of m-to-n mapping against eavesdropping in identifier-based universal network

It is commonly recognized that the dual semantics of IP address has brought about serious scaling and security problems in today's Internet. Aiming at addressing these problems, several recent researches propose identifier-based universal network to replace the IP namespace with an identity namespace and a locator namespace. In this architecture, it successfully introduces the mapping idea to accomplish m-to-n mapping between Access IDentifier (AID) and Routing IDentifier (RID). By the use of attack graph, this paper presents a comparative analysis against eavesdropping between today's Internet and identifier-based universal network. From the security analysis we can generalize a conclusion that identifier-based universal network with m-to-n mapping is significantly superior to today's Internet for defending eavesdropping.
