Abstract
the increasing growth of mobile devices technology and Mobile-based systems with the emerging of cloud computing technology, created a Mobile Cloud Computing field to be the recent future technology for different wireless services. The development of Mobile-based system under cloud computing environment solve some performance and environment related issues include: bandwidth, storage capacity, availability, scalability and heterogeneity. The Mobile-based cloud computing apps are different comparing to mobile computing apps, since in the first model the devices run cloud based web applications not as mobile computing native apps. Services of Mobile-based systems via cloud are accessing and sharing through internet connection thus they are open for attacker to attack on its security. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks can cause a big problem in mobile cloud computing security. The main objective of DDoS attacks is to infect wireless devises resources (e.g., software applications, wireless network, etc.) and make them unavailable to the authorized user. In DDoS, the attacker tries to overload the Mobile-based service with traffic. The main objective of this research paper is to introduce novel model for securing Mobile-based systems against DDoS attacks. Efficiency and performance analysis evaluations of the proposed model are presented. The feedbacks of the experimental results were highly promising, for protecting mobile-based cloud computing systems against DDoS attacks.
Highlights
The use of mobile have become an essential part of human life
Our research study focuses on understanding and modeling Denial of Service attack that represents one of dangerous and destructive attacks for mobile computing devices and apps
Cloud computing architecture consists of three service layers called: Software as a Service (SaaS); Platform as a service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
Summary
The use of mobile have become an essential part of human life. The growing need for mobile and wireless devices is a positive sign that these devices are playing an important role in human life . Using mobile devices to access and run software apps have some related limitations include: limited computing ability, processing power, and limited storage capacity To avoid these limitations, the idea of cloud computing is introduced as the use of external computing resources that provides the services over Internet [3]. Attackers may use various attack ways, such as cutting data access that among mobile devices and putting infected code into mobile apps to gain access to users’ private information. In section five we discuss Denial of Service attacks issue for mobile device and its apps, and present the main goal of the DDoS attacks for mobile-based systems running in cloud environment. In section six we introduce the proposed model and its performance analysis evaluations for securing mobile-based systems against DDoS attacks in cloud computing environment.
