Abstract

Abusing the Simple Server Discovery Protocol (SSDP) can induce an SSDP attack (including SSDP DoS, DDoS, DRDoS) posing a significant threat to UPnP devices. Rapid and extensive developments in computer technology, especially in regards to IoT, have made Upnp devices an indispensable part of our daily lives – but also render them susceptible to a variety of SSDP attacks without suitable countermeasures. This paper proposes the Two-dimensional table scheme, which provides high security at a reasonable computational cost. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed scheme are also validated by comparison against four other schemes (Stateless connections, Failing-together, Cookie, and Client puzzle).
