The convoluted multiaddress networking architecture principles and application

To increase robustness of network nodes and their communication sessions, we propose convoluted multiaddress networking architecture. This approach prevents malicious packets from getting into the incoming traffic of a network terminal. Usually, traffic analyzers and filtering solutions should be installed in the network to isolate a victim node from packet streams created by malefactor terminals. Our network security technique is built on a different approach. The principles of convoluted multiaddress networks are based on the idea that we can protect nodes by hiding their network location from illegitimate clients. In our study, we show how to create dynamic addressing policies for preventing DDoS attacks and traffic eavesdropping. These policies randomize address space and communication data streams, therefore a malefactor cannot acquire access to data streams or destination terminals. In this paper, we discuss IP Fast Hopping, an application of convoluted multiaddress networking in TCP/IP networks. We consider basic implementation of this architecture, its major practical constraints and initial experimental results. The presented approach aims to ensure security of future generation communication technologies. In this study, we suggest Thing Lakes architecture of the Internet of Things, which is based on IP Fast Hopping approach and intended to protect the IoT environment against several major security issues in such networks.
