Research of Secure Anycast

Anycast is a new communication mode in the standards of IPV6. A host can communicate with the "nearest" member in the destination group through anycast. Because the group management and the routing protocol in the anycast are not so mature, when communicating it is easy to be utilized by some attacks such as masquerading and denial of service, etc. Utilizing the correlative secure technology of multicast, we propose a new group management method to secure anycast on the basis of others' research in this paper, which can ensure the security of anycast server and the secure communication between anycast client and server. This method has been proved to be effective
