Protecting Data from DDOS Attack in a Cloud Based Intrusion Detection System Security through Enhanced RSA Algorithm

Since cloud computing platforms have become an essential component in a range of different industries, it is still challenging to ensure that user data and system resources will remain secure inside these settings. This paper proposes a methodology to identify and mitigate unwanted traffic and packets, specifically duplicate packets, in cloud computing envi- ronments. The procedure requires the creation of an IntrusionFinder and Detector (IF-AD) system that allots secondary storage and keeps user information in a secure manner. This technique does a comparison between the sizes of downloaded files and the sizes of the original files, searching for any variations between the two that would suggest a probable distributed denial of service assault (DDoS). The RSA cryptography procedure is employed in order to further strengthen the degree of security that is provided by any future file transfers that may take place. The problem that has been identified and a potential solution for has been proposed with the intention of enhancing the safety of cloud-based systems by identifying and preventing unauthorised access to files as well as modifications to them.
