Survey On: Denial-of-Service Attacks with Bloom-Filters

Abstract

Now a days, World Wide Web (WWW) is most popular but, vulnerability is the major issue as DoS attacks are possible while the packet is being forwarded through the Internet. The standard packet forwarding system requires storage for the purpose of storing the information about routing table, making more overheads on memory. Bloom-filter is data structure which is stored in packet header. Bloom-filters contain information about packet forwarding and packet path so that forwarding can take place and forwarding node does not need to store any information. But using bloom-filters lead to possibility of DoS attacks in network, therefore the security mechanism of bloomfilter needs to be well tested against DoS attack. Thus implementation of additional security feature is required.
