Search for Effective Data Mining Algorithm for Network Based Intrusion Detection (NIDS)-DDOS Attacks

Cloud Security can be effectively implemented using data mining techniques. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) has been classified as one of the most common as well as damaging forms of attack on the cloud environment. Hence it is important to detect DDOS attack in cloud platforms. Previously various detection strategies have been proposed by researchers and used as defense mechanisms against DDOS attack . Analysis and comparison of these detection strategies are important to derive an efficient strategy to detect DDOS attack in a cloud scenario. Data mining technique is one of the efficient strategy that can be used to detect DDOS. This review paper dicusses the efficiency of various data mining algorithms in detecting DDOS attacks.
