New Approach for Preventing ARP Spoofing using Unique Identity

Abstract

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) due to its statelessness and lack of an authentication mechanism for conforming the identity of the sender includes a long history of being at risk of spoofing attacks. ARP spoofing is typically the place to begin for a lot of refined computer network attacks like denial of service, man in the middle and session hijacking. The current strategies of detection use a passive approach, monitoring the ARP traffic and searching for inconsistencies within the LAN to IP address mapping. The most downside of the passive approach is that the time lag between earning and detective work spoofing. This generally ends up in the attack being discovered long when it's been orchestrated. We use static ARP entry rather than Dynamic ARP entry in ARP cache as a result of its noticed that dynamic nature of ARP entry terribly vulnerable in network and might be used for ARP poisoning and ARP Spoofing attacks very simply. Static entries are already static in nature. Therefore providing static entries of ARP with a Unique Identity of host over the network, we are able to simply overcome from the MITM and DoS attacks.
