IVeri: Privacy-Preserving Interdomain Verification
share
In an interdomain network, autonomous systems (ASes) often establish peering agreements, so that one AS (agreement consumer) can influence the routing policies of the other AS (agreement provider). Peering agreements are implemented in the BGP configuration of the agreement provider. It is crucial to verify their implementation because one error can lead to disastrous consequences. However, the fundamental challenge for peering agreement verification is how to preserve the privacy of both ASes involved in the agreement. To this end, this paper presents IVeri, the first privacy-preserving interdomain agreement verification system. IVeri models the interdomain agreement verification problem as a SAT formula, and develops a novel, efficient, privacy-serving SAT solver, which uses oblivious shuffling and garbled circuits as the key building blocks to let the agreement consumer and provider collaboratively verify the implementation of interdomain peering agreements without exposing their private information. A prototype of IVeri is implemented and evaluated extensively. Results show that IVeri achieves accurate, privacy-preserving interdomain agreement verification with reasonable overhead.
