Shield Advanced Mitigation System of Distributed Denial of Service Attack in integration of Internet of Things and Cloud Computing Environment

Abstract

Cloud services among public and business companies have become popular in recent years. For production activities, many companies rely on cloud technology. Distributed Denial of Services (DDoS) attack is an extremely damaging general and critical type of cloud attacks. Several efforts have been made in recent years to identify numerous types of DDoS attacks. This paper discusses the different types of DDoS attacks and their cloud computing consequences. Distributed Denial of Service attack (DDoS) is a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal movement of a targeted server, service or network through influx of internet traffic overwhelming the target or its infrastructure. The use of multiple affected computer systems as a source of attacks makes DDoS attacks effective. Computers and other networked tools, including IoT phones, may be included on exploited machines. A DDoS attack from a high level resembles a traffic jam that is caused by roads that prevents normal travel at their desired destination. So DDoS Attack is a major challenging problem in integrated Cloud and IoT. Hence, this paper proposes Shield Advanced Mitigation System of Distributed Denial of Service Attack in the integration of Internet of Things and Cloud Computing Environment. This secure architecture use two verification process to identify whether user is legitimate or malicious. Dynamic Captcha Testing with Equal Probability test for first verification process, moreover Zigsaw Image Puzzle Test is used for second verification process, and Intrusion Detection Prevention System is used to identify and prevent malicious user, moreover reverse proxy is used to hide server location. These functional components and flow could strengthen security in Client side network to provide cloud services furthermore to overcome distributed denial of service attack in the integration of Internet of Things and Cloud Environment.
