Defeating N-1 Attacks Through Message Mix Strategy
Learn about a strategic approach to defeat N-1 attacks by modifying message pools to output extra messages, maintaining a pool of dummy messages, and using heartbeat traffic to detect attacks. Explore the effectiveness, costs, and potential pitfalls of this defense strategy against network attacks.

Cost to defeat the N-1 Attack Neil Chettiar
Plan Modify a pool mix to output n+k messages for every n input messages. MIX
How costly is it? Always maintain a pool of k dummy messages. Use a random function to decide if the mix should or should not send out k dummy messages. Use Heartbeat traffic to check if an N-1 attack is in progress, use this information to weigh the decision. Set a Time-To-Live value for the dummy traffic.
Focus Points Does the strategy really beat the N-1 attack? How is the pool Mix triggered: OR/AND, Dynamic Threshold? Set limits of the number of dummy messages used. How expensive is it to use the Dummy messages? Cases when HeartBeat strategy gets wrongly triggered. Extreme situations when the proposed random function fails to defeat the N-1 attack.
