Packet resonance strategy: A spoof attack detection and prevention mechanism in cloud computing environment

Abstract

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is a major threat to server availability. The attackers hide from view by impersonating their IP addresses as the legitimate users. This Spoofed IP helps the attacker to pass through the authentication phase and to launch the attack. Surviving spoof detection techniques could not resolve different styles of attacks. PacketResonance Strategy (PRS) armed to detect various types of spoof attacks that destruct the server resources or data theft at Datacenter. PRS ensembles to any Cloud Service Provider (CSP) as they are exclusively responsible for any data leakage and sensitive information hack. PRS uses two-level detection scheme, allows the clients to access Datacenter only when they surpass initial authentication at both levels. PRS provides faster data transmission and time sensitiveness of cloud computing tasks to the authenticated clients. Experimental results proved that the proposed methodology is a better light-weight solution and deployable at server-end.
