| description | Customer Edge Switching (CES) is an extension of the already known classical firewall that is often described and used in future networks like 5G. It extends its functionality by enabling information exchange with other firewalls to decide whether the inspected network traffic should be considered malicious or legitimate. In this paper, we show how the Passive DNS can be used to further improve security of this solution. First, we discuss CES solution and its internals. We also determine how it uses DNS and CETP protocols. Secondly, we describe the basics of the Passive DNS and how it impacts the DNS protocol. Thirdly, we evaluate how the Passive DNS can be extended to collect also CETP information. Finally, we integrate the solutions and present obtained experimental results. |
