ACACIA: A Certificate-Based Access-Controlled Internet Architecture

Overview The current Internet architecture supports open connectivity, i.e., any host can send traffic to any other host. This has resulted in a number of security problems such as Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, worms etc. This paper proposes ACACIA - A Certificate-based Access-Controlled Internet Architecture. In ACACIA, a source must first obtain an access certificate in order to send packets to a destination. This access request is routed through a separate DDoS-resilient Access Control Infrastructure (ACI). The ACI is based on Distributed Hash Table-based servers that isolates attack requests using a load-adaptive replication strategy.
