In Software Defined Network (SDN), data plane and control plane are decoupled. Dummy switches on the data plane simply forward packet based on the flow entries that are stored in its flow table. The flow entries are generated by a centralized controller that acts as a brain of the network. However, the size of flow table is limited and it can conduct a security issue related to Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). Especially, it related to resource attack that consumes all flow table resource and consumes controller resources. In this paper, we will analyze the impact of flow table limitation to the controller. Then we propose an approach that is called Flow Table Management to handle flow table limitation.

Collective traffic data (BPS, PPS etc.) for detection against the distributed denial of service attack on network is the time sequencing big data. The algorithm to detect the change point in the big data should be accurate and exceed in detection time and detection capability. In this work, the sliding window and discretization method is used to detect the change point in the big data, and propose five nonparametric test statistics using empirical distribution functions and ranks. With various distribution functions and their parameters, the detection time and capability including the detection delay time and the detection ratio for five test methods are explored and discussed via monte carlo simulation and illustrative examples.

In this paper, we present a new form of DDOS attack and a mechanism to defend systems from it. Up to now the ultimate target of a DDOS attack is a specific host. But in the near future router attacks are expected to appear. Because these kinds of attacks may involve many hosts in the managed domain of a specific router, they will be still more serious than the current DDOS attacks. Also, we present an algorithm to defend against an attack on a router using survivability of the router. By using a survivability of a router, the router can control a quantity of traffic autonomously without an interruption of services even when a DDOS attack occurs.

Recently, the cloud technology has made dynamical network changes by enabling the construction of a logical network without building a physical network. Despite recent research on the cloud, it is necessary to study security functions for the identification of fake virtual network functions and the encryption of communication between entities. Because the VNFs are open to subscribers and able to implement service directly, which can make them an attack target. In this paper, we propose a virtual public key infrastructure mechanism that detects a fake VNFs and guarantees data security through mutual authentication between VNFs. To evaluate the virtual PKI, we built a management and orchestration environment to test the performance of authentication and key generation for data security. And we test the detection of a distributed denial of service by using several AI algorithms to enhance the security in NFV.

Over the past years, Link Flooding Attacks (LFAs) have been introduced as new network threats. LFAs are indirect DDoS attacks that selectively flood intermediate core links, while legacy DDoS attacks directly targets end points. Flooding bandwidth in the core links results in that a wide target area is affected by the attack. In the traditional network, mitigating LFAs is a challenge since an attacker can easily construct a link map that contains entire network topology via traceroute. Security researchers have proposed many solutions, however, they focused on reactive countermeasures that respond to LFAs when attacks occurred. We argue that this reactive approach is limited in that core links are already exposed to an attacker. In this paper, we present SDHoneyNet that prelocates vulnerable links by computing static and dynamic property on Software-defined Networks (SDN). SDHoneyNet deploys Honey Topology, which is obfuscated topology, on the nearby links. Using this approach, core links can be hidden from attacker's sight, which leads to effectively building proactive method for mitigating LFAs.

Nowadays, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have gained increasing popularity and have been a major factor in a number of massive cyber-attacks. It could easily exhaust the computing and communicating resources of a victim within a short period of time. Therefore, we have to find the method to detect and prevent the DDoS attack. Recently, there have been some researches that provide the methods to resolve above problem, but it still gets some limitations such as low performance of detecting and preventing, scope of method, most of them just use on cloud server instead of network, and the reliability in the network. In this paper, we propose solutions for (1) handling multiple DDoS attacks from multiple IP address and (2) handling the suspicious attacks in the network. For the first solution, we assume that there are multiple attacks from many sources at a times, it should be handled to avoid the conflict when we setup the preventing rule to switches. In the other, there are many attacks traffic with the low volume and same destination address. Although the traffic at each node is not much, the traffic at the destination is much more. So it is hard to detect that suspicious traffic with the sampling based method at each node, our method reroute the traffic to another server and make the analysis to check it deeply.

The rapid development of smartphone technologies have resulted in the evolution of mobile botnets. The implications of botnets have inspired attention from the academia and the industry alike, which includes vendors, investors, hackers, and researcher community. Above all, the capability of botnets is uncovered through a wide range of malicious activities, such as distributed denial of service (DDoS), theft of business information, remote access, online or click fraud, phishing, malware distribution, spam emails, and building mobile devices for the illegitimate exchange of information and materials. In this study, we investigate mobile botnet attacks by exploring attack vectors and subsequently present a well-defined thematic taxonomy. By identifying the significant parameters from the taxonomy, we compared the effects of existing mobile botnets on commercial platforms as well as open source mobile operating system platforms. The parameters for review include mobile botnet architecture, platform, target audience, vulnerabilities or loopholes, operational impact, and detection approaches. In relation to our findings, research challenges are then presented in this domain.

For recent years, hacking is in the trends of making excessive traffic unnecessarily to obstruct the service by getting a system's performance down. And we can also see systems paralyzed in service ability due to the flash crowds of normal traffic to a popular website. This is an important problem certainly solved in the point of QoS guarantee for the clients. It is known that the former is DDoS(Distributed Denial of Service) attack and the latter is FE(Flash Event). These two are samely anomalous traffic because these make excessive congestion on the network or system and downgrade the system's service ability. In this paper, we propose a scheme for protecting the system against anomalous traffic and for guaranteeing the QoS. For this, a server records and maintains the information of clients accessed more than one time before when it is in normal condition. When it falls into the congestion, the records are used for filtering the spoofed IP. We send and receive the ICMP request/reply packet to know whether the IP is spoofed. And we also propose for applying the object spliting of CDN to guarantee the QoS in the initial FE situation.

To defeat abnormal traffic driven by DoS (Denial-of-Service) or DDoS (Distributed DoS), there has been a variety of researches or studies in a few decades. In this paper, we present the results of theoretical performance analysis between attack prevention schemes and attack mitigation schemes. The former is a scheme that prevents abnormal incoming traffic from forwarding into a specific network based on filtering rules, and the latter is a scheme that makes some perimeter or intermediate routers, which exist on the traffic forwarding path, prevent abnormal traffic based on their own abnormal traffic information, or that mitigates abnormal traffic by using quality-of-service mechanisms at the gateway of the target network. The aspects of theoretical performance analysis are defined as the transit rates of either normal traffic or false-positive traffic after an attack detection routine processes its job, and we also present the concrete network bandwidth rates to control incoming traffic.
