Detection of Denial of Service Attack in Wireless Network using Dominance based Rough Set
Naqvi Syed, David Ortiz-Puerta · International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications · 2015
Denial-of-service (DoS) attack is aim to block the services of victim system either temporarily or permanently by sending huge amount of garbage traffic data in various types of protocols such as transmission control protocol, user datagram protocol, internet connecting message protocol, and hypertext transfer protocol using single or multiple attacker nodes. Maintenance of uninterrupted service system is technically difficult as well as economically costly. With the invention of new vulnerabilities to system new techniques for determining these vulnerabilities have been implemented. In general, probabilistic packet marking (PPM) and deterministic packet marking (DPM) is used to identify DoS attacks. Later, intelligent decision proto-type was proposed. The main advantage is that it can be used with both PPM and DPM. But it is observed that, data available in the wireless network information system contains uncertainties. Therefore, an effort has been made to detect DoS attack using dominance based rough set. The accuracy of the proposed model obtained over the KDD cup dataset is 99.76 and it is higher than the accuracy achieved by resilient back propagation (RBP) model.
