Title: Attacks on the secure SSM architecture proposed at ICON 2002
Author(s): Ang, Mei-Chiun; Phan, Raphael C-W.
Abstract: The source specific multicast (SSM) model is a collection of approaches standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to optimize the communication used by multimedia applications involving several participants. At ICON2002, it was highlighted that the SSM does not cater to security services such as access control and content provider protection and hence a variant called the Secure SSM (S-SSM) was proposed. In this paper, we present attacks on the S-SSM and hence show that the security that it provides is still insufficient. We also suggest some countermeasures to increase its security.
