Entropy Based Approach to Prevent the DDoS Attacks for Secured Web Services
S. Igni Sabasti Prabu, Veerabadran Jawahar Senthil Kumar · International Review on Computers and Software (IRECOS) · 2013
A web service is a standards-based, language-agnostic software entity, that it accepts specially formatted requests from other software entities on remote machines via vendor and transport neutral communication protocols, producing application specific responses. Web services are used in every nook and corner of the world. The main strategy of web service is the availability of web service to all and its security over a distributed architecture. To ensure customer satisfaction web services must be available to all the users without any hindrance. The intrusion of attackers may be in any form such as a person or a program to cease the availability of the server. The Distributed Denial of Service attack is one of the severe attacks. The proposed system is an entropy based system which prevents the web service from the denial of service attack.
