Securing Network Coordinate Systems

· 2007

Abstract

Many large-scale Internet applications optimize their overlay network to reduce latencies. Embedding coordinate systems like Vivaldi or NPS are valuable tools for this new range of applications since they propose light-weight algorithms that permit to estimate the latency between any pair of nodes without having to contact them first. It has been recently demonstrated that network coordinate systems in general are sensible to attacks. Typically, malicious nodes can lie about their coordinates and distort the coordinate space.
