Enhanced Trust-nd Protocol To Prevent Temporal Denial-of-service Vulnerabilities On Ipv6 Link-local Network

Trust-ND is a trust-based distributed security mechanism to secure IPv6 link-local networks as an alternative to the highly complex Secure Neighbor Discovery (SEND) protocol. However, theoretical analysis and experimental research revealed that the Trust-ND protocol is susceptible to temporal Denial...
