Low rate Distributed Denial of Service DDoS attacks have emerged as a major threat to containerized cloud infrastructures. Due to their low traffic volumes, these attacks can be difficult to detect and mitigate, potentially causing serious…

Today, cloud computing is an emerging way of computing in computer science. Cloud computing is a set of resources and services that are offered by the network or internet. Cloud computing extends various computing techniques like grid…

A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is an attempt to produce humongous traffic within a network by overwhelming a targeted server or its neighboring infrastructure with a flood of service requests ceaselessly coming from multiple…

A new variant of the DDoS attack, called Economic Denial of Sustainability attack has emerged. Since the cloud service is based on the pay-per-use model, the EDoS attack endeavors to scale up the resource usage over time to the point the…

Distributed Reflective Denial of Service (DRDoS) attacks are an immanent threat to Internet services. The potential scale of such attacks became apparent in March 2018 when a memcached-based attack peaked at 1.7 Tbps. Novel services built…

Blockchain technology is widely used in various fields due to its ability to provide decentralization and trustless security. This is a fundamental understanding held by many advocates, but it is misunderstood, leading participants to fail…

Defending against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks in the Internet is a fundamental problem. However, recent industrial interviews with over 100 security experts from more than ten industry segments indicate that DDoS problems…

Cloud computing offers users scalable platforms and low resource cost. At the same time, the off-site location of the resources of this service model makes it more vulnerable to certain types of adversarial actions. Cloud computing has not…

Online elections make a natural target for distributed denial of service attacks. Election agencies wary of disruptions to voting may procure DDoS protection services from a cloud provider. However, current DDoS detection and mitigation…

We consider a cloud based multiserver system, that may be cloud based, consisting of a set of replica application servers behind a set of proxy (indirection) servers which interact directly with clients over the Internet. We address…

Cloud computing services are becoming more and more popular. However, the high concentration of data and services on the clouds make them attractive targets for various security attacks, including DoS, data theft, and privacy attacks.…

This paper discusses about the challenges, advantages and shortcomings of existing solutions in data security and privacy in public cloud computing. As in cloud computing, oceans of data will be stored. Data stored in public cloud would…
