Moving Target Defence (MTD) became an important research area in the wake of increased cyber security threats. As the attackers are gaining knowledge on existing methods, it is essential to have more dynamic approach that can defeat plans of attackers. As improving systems with higher level of security is a never ending process, MTD has got significance in military and other applications where critical digital infrastructure needs to be protected from adversaries. When attack surface is dynamically evolving with mutation strategy, it can lead to realization of MTD. As MTD increases complexity and uses dynamic encryption mechanism, the attack surface evolves from time to time confusing attacker. Traditional approaches like AES and DES alone will have their limitations. However, when they are used along with the concept of MTD strategies, it is possible to provide highly secure environment. In this paper, we proposed a framework with an underlying algorithm which ensures MTD with dynamically evolving attack surface and dynamic encryption standards based on DES. The experimental results revealed that the proposed scheme is effective and shows improved performance over its predecessor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
