Implications And Limitations Of Securing An Infiniband Network, Lucas E. Mireles
Implications And Limitations Of Securing An Infiniband Network, Lucas E. Mireles
Theses and Dissertations
The InfiniBand Architecture is one of the leading network interconnects used in high performance computing, delivering very high bandwidth and low latency. As the popularity of InfiniBand increases, the possibility for new InfiniBand applications arise outside the domain of high performance computing, thereby creating the opportunity for new security risks. In this work, new security questions are considered and addressed. The study demonstrates that many common traffic analyzing tools cannot monitor or capture InfiniBand traffic transmitted between two hosts. Due to the kernel bypass nature of InfiniBand, many host-based network security systems cannot be executed on InfiniBand applications. Those that …
Multi-Channel Security Through Data Fragmentation, Micah J. Hayden
Multi-Channel Security Through Data Fragmentation, Micah J. Hayden
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis presents a novel security system developed for a multi-channel communication architecture, which achieves security by distributing the message and its associated message authentication code across the available channels at the bit level, to support systems that require protection from confidentiality and integrity attacks without relying solely on traditional encryption. One contribution of the work is to establish some helpful terminology, present a basic theory for multi-channel communications, describe the services provided by an optimal system, and then implement a proof of concept system to demonstrate the concept's validity. This proof of concept, focused on the splitting and recombination …
