Master's Programme in Computer Network Engineering, 60 credits MASTER Connect street light control devices in a secure network THESIS Andreas Kostoulas, Efstathios Lykouropoulos, Zainab Jumaa Network security, 15 credits Halmstad 2015-02-16 “Connect street light control devices in a secure network” Master’s Thesis in Computer Network engineering 2014 Authors: Andreas Kostoulas, Efstathios Lykouropoulos, Zainab Jumaa Supervisor: Alexey Vinel Examiner: Tony Larsson Preface This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for a Master’s Degree in Computer Network Engineering at the Department of Information Science - Computer and Electrical Engineering, at University of Halmstad, Sweden. The research - implementation described herein was conducted under the supervision of Professor Alexey Vinel and in cooperation with Greinon engineering. This was a challenging trip with both ups and downs but accompanied by an extend team of experts, always willing to coach, sponsor, help and motivate us. For this we would like to thank them. We would like to thank our parents and family for their financial and motivational support, although distance between us was more than 1500 kilometres. Last but not least we would like to thank our fellow researchers and friends on our department for useful discussions, comments, suggestions, thoughts and also creative and fun moments we spend together. i Abstract Wireless communications is a constantly progressing technology in network engineering society, creating an environment full of opportunities that are targeting in financial growth, quality of life and humans prosperity. Wireless security is the science that has as a goal to provide safe data communication between authorized users and prevent unauthorized users from gaining access, deny access, damage or counterfeit data in a wireless environment. -
N2N: a Layer Two Peer-To-Peer VPN
N2N: A Layer Two Peer-to-Peer VPN Luca Deri1, Richard Andrews2 ntop.org, Pisa, Italy1 Symstream Technologies, Melbourne, Australia2 {deri, andrews}@ntop.org Abstract. The Internet was originally designed as a flat data network delivering a multitude of protocols and services between equal peers. Currently, after an explosive growth fostered by enormous and heterogeneous economic interests, it has become a constrained network severely enforcing client-server communication where addressing plans, packet routing, security policies and users’ reachability are almost entirely managed and limited by access providers. From the user’s perspective, the Internet is not an open transport system, but rather a telephony-like communication medium for content consumption. This paper describes the design and implementation of a new type of peer-to- peer virtual private network that can allow users to overcome some of these limitations. N2N users can create and manage their own secure and geographically distributed overlay network without the need for central administration, typical of most virtual private network systems. Keywords: Virtual private network, peer-to-peer, network overlay. 1. Motivation and Scope of Work Irony pervades many pages of history, and computing history is no exception. Once personal computing had won the market battle against mainframe-based computing, the commercial evolution of the Internet in the nineties stepped the computing world back to a substantially rigid client-server scheme. While it is true that the today’s Internet serves as a good transport system for supplying a plethora of data interchange services, virtually all of them are delivered by a client-server model, whether they are centralised or distributed, pay-per-use or virtually free [1]. -

Building Ipv6 Based Tunneling Mechanisms for Voip Security
WK,QWHUQDWLRQDO0XOWL&RQIHUHQFHRQ6\VWHPV6LJQDOV 'HYLFHV Building IPv6 Based Tunneling Mechanisms for VoIP Security Amzari J. Ghazali, Waleed Al-Nuaimy, Ali Al-Ataby, Majid A. Al-Taee Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics University of Liverpool, UK e-mail: {amzari.ghazali, wax, ali.ataby, altaeem}@liv.ac.uk Abstract—Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) was such as Toredo, 6to4 and manual configuration [4]. developed to resolve the IPv4 address exhaustion Despite the benefits of using IPv6, there are still problem and support new features. However, IPv6 still challenges and obstacles in implementing and comprises some defectiveness of IPv4 protocol such as practically using IPv6 VoIP [5]. The issues of the multimedia security. This paper presents IPv6-based transition from the current IPv4 network to IPv6 as tunneling mechanisms for securing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) network traffic using OpenSwan IPSec well as VoIP performance for both IP versions need (site-to-site). IPSec with Triple Data Encryption to be assessed and compared. Algorithm (3DES) is used to create a Virtual Private Evaluation of VoIP performance with IPSec in Network (VPN) on top of existing physical networks. IPv4, IPv6 and 6to4 networks using Teredo for NAT Secure communication mechanisms can therefore be provided for data and control information transmitted traversal in a test LAN was previously reported in between networks. Secure VoIP-oriented mechanisms [6]. The testbed used softphones to setup calls, and on VPN IPv6 have been designed, implemented and background traffic was generated to create congestion tested successfully using open source approaches. The on the links and routers. The results demonstrated the performance of the IPv6 VoIP network is assessed feasibility of using a single Linux box to handle experimentally in terms of several performance metrics IPSec, 6to4 and NAT processing, and it was found including jitter, throughput and packet loss rate. -

Nicolai Kuntze In cooperation with: Fraunhofer SIT f¨urPapa ii Ehrenw¨ortlicheErkl¨arung(Affidavit) Hiermit versichere ich, die vorliegende Diplomarbeit ohne Hilfe Dritter und nur mit den angegebenen Quellen und Hilfsmitteln angefertigt zu haben. Alle Stellen, die aus den Quellen entnommen wurden, sind als solche kenntlich gemacht worden. Diese Arbeit hat in gleicher oder ¨ahnlicher Form noch keiner Pr¨ufungsbeh¨ordevorgelegen. Hiro Dudani Neu-Isenburg, am 29.11.2012 iii Abstract The Nanodatacenters project aims to complement the paradigm of existing centralized server farms with a high number of small storage and communication devices located at the edges of the network. Utilizing previously unused resources like broadband internet access bandwith and idling set-top boxes, these nodes are able to host applications from different content providers offering various kinds of services, such as Video on Demand or online gaming, to end users. This setting does pose particular security challenges. As the devices operate under physical control of the end users, their integrity has be ensured and must be able to be verified by the network. This is achieved through the functionality of Trusted Com- puting. Additionally, the domains of the different content providers have to be isolated in such a way that an attacker cannot use one of them as a foothold to compromise or snoop on the operation of the network or another isolated domain. -
