Agenda
Identity-Defined Networking
The current Internet networking is based on TCP/IP protocol stack that had not changed significantly for 40 years. If the future Internet-of-things and Industrial Internet would use the same model, the collapse is imminent due to widespread cybersecurity risks. Last year, we witnessed 1 Tbps Denial-of-Service attacks from hacked IoT devices, enough to take a small country out of Internet. A scanning study in Sweden revealed thousands of sensitive industrial devices open for attacks.
Securing current networks using firewalls, segmentation and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) is complex, costly and fragile. It requires plenty of manual configuration which is not sustainable in the long run. The root defect is the use of ephemeral identities such as IP and MAC addresses to define the policies. We describe a novel approach, based on cryptographic host identities and IETF Host Identity Protocol (HIP). With a help of centralized orchestration, it reduces network provisioning time, decreases costs, and reduces the attack surface. Identity-Defined Networking is a paradigm shift is cybersecurity which is gradually deployable to secure legacy and future networks.
