Abstract :
Currently, the advances in communication technologies as an underlying infrastructure has become essential assist to the business industry, which eases the access to information, and exchanging of data. However, the reliance on these technologies comes with great risk. One of the major security concerns is "Hacking". Much of security solutions are suggested and practically deployed to reduce the risk of hacking. However, recent successful hacking attempts prove the inability of these systems to address that issue. We propose a dynamic security approach for the entire infrastructure that runs on network layer. The conceptual design of this approach addresses hacking by providing ambiguity and obfuscation in the communication within the infrastructure, which targets the three pre-hacking steps.
