A Extensive Survey of Rival Penalized Techniques

Cloud Computing has emerged as one of the leading sectors in the field of computer science. Cloud is used in various government agencies, private sectors, banking, healthcare and military. Cloud has evolved to SDN based cloud in which the network administrator of the cloud can respond swiftly based on the requirements of the business. By using Self-Organizing Maps (SOM), a map is created using lower dimensional data, which is derived by reducing the higher dimensional data. Ever since the emergence of cloud there are various security issues that concern the data being stored or executed in cloud. There are several security issues like Data breaches, Data loss, Account hijacking and Distributed Denial of Service. There are different types of security mechanisms like Authentication, Trust Model, Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems that could help in the defense against the threats. One method that could be used to prevent a Distributed Denial of Service attack is by means of using a Rival Penalized model. This paper provides a detailed survey of Rival Penalized model which could be helped to prevent DDoS attack in cloud computing.
