Abstract

Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is an emerging transport protocol for sending data from one point to another over the Internet. SCTP provides innovative features beyond TCP, such as multihoming and multistreaming in a single SCTP association. With the explosive growth of Internet users, it remains an unsecured environment; hence the data protection from the malicious interception becomes a crucial issue. In this paper, we present how the multihoming feature of SCTP can be exploited to implement a multihomed web client and server for providing resilience to network failure and a certain level of data protection against the malicious interception as well as achieving high throughput by utilizing the multiple paths that exist between the multihomed web client and server. We discuss the potential threats during data transmission and the way of defense using multihoming in this aspect.
