Enhanced Security Algorithm for Detecting Distributed Denial of Services Attacks in Cloud Computing

Article scientifique 2025 Anglais

Résumé

Cloud Computing has the benefit of offering on-demand scalable services to its customers without having to invest much on hardware infrastructure, resources and software. Most private and public sectors are moving to the Cloud. As a result, Cloud Computing has become an ideal option due to its flexibility, scalability and cost efficiency. The existence of vulnerabilities in the network systems hosting Cloud have raised an opportunity for attackers to launch attacks in Cloud Computing. The intruders attack business applications such as webservers, financial servers, and other servers exploiting Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. This paper proposed a Real-Time Network Traffic Attack Detection (RTNTAD) algorithm to detect DDoS attacks using real-time dataset to mitigate DDoS attacks. MATLAB was employed to evaluate the performance of RTNTAD. The proposed RTNTAD algorithm has achieved 99.2% detection rate, 99.5% classification of DDoS attacks, 0.9% connectivity time out and less than 18% false positive.
