The complexity and severity of the Distributed Denial of Service (DDo S) attacks are increasing day-by-day. The Internet has a highly inconsistent structure in terms of resource distribution. Numerous technical solutions are available, but those involving economic aspects have not been given much consideration. The book, DDo S Attacks – Classification, Attacks, Challenges, and Countermeasures, provides an overview of both types of defensive solutions proposed so far, exploring different dimensions that would mitigate the DDo S effectively and show the implications associated with them.
Features:
- Covers topics that describe taxonomies of the DDo S attacks in detail, recent trends and classification of defensive mechanisms on the basis of deployment location, the types of defensive action, and the solutions offering economic incentives.
- Introduces chapters discussing the various types of DDo S attack associated with different layers of security, an attacker’s motivations, and the importance of incentives and liabilities in any defensive solution.
- Illustrates the role of fair resource-allocation schemes, separate payment mechanisms for attackers and legitimate users, negotiation models on cost and types of resources, and risk assessments and transfer mechanisms.
DDo S Attacks – Classification, Attacks, Challenges, and Countermeasures is designed for the readers who have an interest in the cybersecurity domain, including students and researchers who are exploring different dimensions associated with the DDo S attack, developers and security professionals who are focusing on developing defensive schemes and applications for detecting or mitigating the DDo S attacks, and faculty members across different universities.
