Using exponentially weighted moving average algorithm to defend against DDoS attacks
Pheeha Machaka, Antoine Bagula, Fulufhelo Vincent Nelwamondo · 2016
This paper seeks to investigate the performance of the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) for mining big data and detection of DDoS attacks in Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure. The paper will investigate the trade-off between the algorithm's detection rate, false alarm and detection delay. The paper seeks to further investigate how the performance of the algorithm is affected by the tuning parameters and how various network attack intensity affect its performance. The performance results are analyzed and discussed and further suggestion is also discussed.
