Efficient DDoS attack detection and prevention scheme based on SDN in cloud environment by Heng HE, Yan HU, Lianghan ZHENG, Zhengyuan XUE

“…For addressing the problem of two typical types of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks in cloud environment,a DDoS attack detection and prevention scheme called SDCC based on software defined network (SDN) architecture was proposed.SDCC used a combination of bandwidth detection and data flow detection,utilized confidence-based filtering (CBF) method to calculate the CBF score of packets,judged the packet of CBF score below the threshold as an attacking packet,added its attribute information to the attack flow feature library,and sent the flow table to intercept it through SDN controller.Simulation results show that SDCC can detect and prevent different types of DDoS attacks effectively,and it has high detection efficiency,reduces the controller’s computation overhead,and achieves a low false positive rate.…”
