A Novel Model for Securing Mobile-based Systems against DDoS Attacks in Cloud Computing Environment

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.

An Analytical Study on the Implementation of a Healthcare App to Assist People with Disabilities Using Cloud Computing and IoT

“…The suggested system used interactive technologies to assist students in choosing universities that fit their educational talents, and experiences. Mobile Cloud Computing, a new future technology for wireless services, emerged from the growing expansion of mobile devices and mobile-based systems and cloud computing [12]. The authors in [13] investigated the potential for creating a portable system to aid the deaf and other persons in communicating and learning via portable gadgets.…”

A Software Security Optimization Architecture (SoSOA) and its Adaptation for Mobile Applications

“…This information could be used to attack the software application, its network host or its users. Various security mechanisms utilized to prevent information leakages, such as Authentication [21,22], Access Control (Authorization), Logging and Intrusion Detection [23,24], Auditability, SQL Injection [25][26][27][28], Data Validation, and Security Tests [29,30].…”

Approaches to Address the Operational Limitations of MANETs through Ad Hoc Mobile Cloud Computing Paradigm

“…Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC), is a combination of Mobile Computing and Cloud Computing (CC) and is introduced to make mobile devices resource-full [3]; [4]. MCC permits cloud computing resource platforms such as Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure, and Google AppEngine used to overcome the dearth of native resource restrictions in mobile devices.…”
