Abstract
Traditional network communication methods lack endogenous security mechanisms, which is the root cause of network security problems, e.g., spoofing identity and address forgery. This paper proposes a secure communication method based on the message hash chain, referred to as the chain communication method or MHC method. We use the message hash chain to ensure that the transmission process is immutable, non-repudiation, reliability, and the integrity and synchronization of the message. At the same time, we can sign and authenticate data streams in batches through chain signature and authentication technology, which can significantly reduce the overhead of signature and authentication, thereby improving the efficiency of secure message transmission. This paper formally proves the security of the message hash chain, conducts an in-depth analysis of the reliability of the MHC method, and conducts relevant experimental tests. The results show that the average transmission efficiency of the MHC method applied at the network layer is about 70% lower than that of the IP protocol communication method without a security mechanism. However, it is about 5% higher than the average transmission efficiency of the non-repudiation IPSec protocol communication method. The average transmission efficiency of the MHC method is about 23.5 times higher than that of the IP protocol communication method with the packet-by-packet signature. It is easier to ensure the non-repudiation of the data stream.
