Attacking Slicing Network via Side-channel Reinforcement Learning Attack

  • 用强化学习动态探测共享缓存中敏感数据位置
  • 实验显示攻击成功率达95%~98%
  • 适合关注网络安全的工程师与研究者

5G及未来6G网络中的网络切片技术可在共享物理基础设施上创建多个虚拟网络,为特定业务或行业用户提供定制化服务。然而,共享内存和缓存引入了尚未充分解决的安全漏洞。本文提出一种专为网络切片环境设计的强化学习驱动型侧信道缓存攻击框架。不同于传统方法,该框架利用强化学习动态识别并利用存储认证密钥、用户注册数据等敏感信息的缓存位置。假设一个切片已被攻陷,攻击者可诱导另一个共享切片发送注册请求,从而估算关键数据的缓存位置。通过将缓存时序通道攻击建模为攻击切片与目标切片之间的强化学习博弈,模型能高效探索动作以精确定位含敏感信息的内存块。实验结果表明,本方法在准确识别敏感数据存储位置方面成功率高达95%~98%,凸显了共享网络切片环境下的潜在风险,亟需强化安全防护措施。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Network slicing in 5G and the future 6G networks will enable the creation of multiple virtualized networks on a shared physical infrastructure. This innovative approach enables the provision of tailored networks to accommodate specific business types or industry users, thus delivering more customized and efficient services. However, the shared memory and cache in network slicing introduce security vulnerabilities that have yet to be fully addressed. In this paper, we introduce a reinforcement learning-based side-channel cache attack framework specifically designed for network slicing environments. Unlike traditional cache attack methods, our framework leverages reinforcement learning to dynamically identify and exploit cache locations storing sensitive information, such as authentication keys and user registration data. We assume that one slice network is compromised and demonstrate how the attacker can induce another shared slice to send registration requests, thereby estimating the cache locations of critical data. By formulating the cache timing channel attack as a reinforcement learning-driven guessing game between the attack slice and the victim slice, our model efficiently explores possible actions to pinpoint memory blocks containing sensitive information. Experimental results showcase the superiority of our approach, achieving a success rate of approximately 95\% to 98\% in accurately identifying the storage locations of sensitive data. This high level of accuracy underscores the potential risks in shared network slicing environments and highlights the need for robust security measures to safeguard against such advanced side-channel attacks.
