    Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for remediating a distributed denial of service attack. A methodology includes, at a network device, such as a constrained resource Internet of Things (IoT) device, receiving from an authorization server cryptographic material sufficient to validate and decrypt tokens carried in packets, detecting a denial of service attack that employs packets containing invalid tokens, and in response to detecting the denial of service attack, signaling a remediation server for assistance to remediate the denial of service attack, and sending to the remediation server the cryptographic material over a secure communication channel such that the remediation server enables validation and decryption of tokens carried in packets, subsequent to detection of the denial of service attack, that are destined for the network device.

    Abstract: A method for resuming a Transport Layer Security (TLS) session in a Service Function Chain comprising a plurality of Service Function nodes coupled to a Service Function Forwarder. A request is received at a first Service Function node to establish a TLS session, and a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) and a PSK identifier that uniquely correspond to the first Service Function node and the TLS session are generated. The PSK identifier is forwarded to one or more of the Service Function Forwarder and the plurality of Service Function nodes. A request to resume the TLS session is received from a client device that previously disconnected. It is determined that the connection request contains the PSK identifier, a second Service Function node is selected, and the TLS session is re-established between the client device and the second Service Function node using the same PSK as the prior TLS session.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a primary server receives, from a client device, a first request to mitigate an external attack on the client device. The primary server sends, to a plurality of secondary servers, a second request to mitigate the external attack, wherein each one of the plurality of secondary servers has associated mitigation resources, and receives from at least one of the plurality of secondary servers an indication that it has mitigation resources capable of mitigating the external attack. The primary server sends, to the client device, a list including the secondary servers having mitigation resources capable of mitigating the attack, and receives, from the client device, an indication that a subset of the list is selected to mitigate the external attack. In response, the primary server sends a request for mitigation services to one of the secondary servers in the subset selected to mitigate the external attack.

    Abstract: A web conferencing operator can enable participants to share multimedia content in real-time despite one or more of the participants operating from behind a middlebox via network address translation (NAT) traversal protocols and tools, such as STUN, TURN, and/or ICE. In NAT traversal, participants share a transport addresses that the participants can use to establish a joint media session. However, connectivity checks during NAT traversal can expose a media distribution device hosted by the web conferencing operator to various vulnerabilities, such as distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. The web conferencing operator can minimize the effects of a DDoS attack during the connectivity checks at scale and without significant performance degradation by configuring the middlebox to validate incoming requests for the connectivity checks without persistent signaling between the web conference operator and the middlebox.
