DDoS Detection and Mitigation in Cloud Via FogFiter: A Defence Mechanism
Bhumika Paharia, Kriti Bhushan · 2018
The appealing scenario of today's era demands more important security and privacy measures. Cloud computing is considered to be the most crucial computing paradigm for on-demand services, pay-as-you-go model, storage and processing of data/information. Existing security mechanism has failed in multiple aspects. This paper introduces a naïve defense mechanism named as FilterFog. This FilterFog has been implemented to serve two important criteria. The first criterion sums up the reason why fog computing firstly came into the picture i.e. as an extension of the cloud. The fog computing basically provides the cloud services at the network's edge granting proximity. The second criterion is fog computing acting as a defense mechanism for cloud against DDoS attack. Here it uses some script files and some IP table forwarding rules to filter the traffic. This paper is a naive attempt at using fog as FilterFog.
