Protection of Cloud Servers from DDOS Attacks using DAM Servers
Nadesh S | Suriya K [2] | Ashwin A
Abstract: Cloud computing is a booming service that is offered to customers and it is made available in many forms for the users. Some examples of these include cloud storage services and virtual computing. A denial - of - service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial - of - service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. Cloud services are vulnerable to such serious attacks because of the nature of the service they provide. In this paper, various existing methodologies to prevent the denial - of - service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial - of - service attack (DDoS attack) are analysed with respect to the performance and the quality of service they intend to provide to the customers. This paper will include the disadvantages of using the already existing techniques to prevent DDOS with respect to the cloud environment and proposing a technique of ?DAM servers? which effectively reduces the DDoS attacks rather than presently available filtering approaches.
