Security analysis of m-to-n mapping against eavesdropping in identifier-based universal network

It is commonly recognized that the dual semantics of IP address has brought about serious scaling and security problems in today´s Internet. Aiming at addressing these problems, several recent researches propose identifier-based universal network to replace the IP namespace with an identity namespace and a locator namespace. In this architecture, it successfully introduces the mapping idea to accomplish m-to-n mapping between Access IDentifier (AID) and Routing IDentifier (RID). By the use of attack graph, this paper presents a comparative analysis against eavesdropping between today´s Internet and identifier-based universal network. From the security analysis we can generalize a conclusion that identifier-based universal network with m-to-n mapping is significantly superior to today´s Internet for defending eavesdropping.
