Enabling a Cooperative, Multi-domain DDoS Defense by a Blockchain Signaling System (BloSS)

چکیده
Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) defense systems are not capable of withstanding by themselves against large-scale attacks. Thus, coordinated protection efforts have become an attractive alternative to extend defense capabilities of a single system. However, existing DDoS signaling protocols are a bottleneck to make a coordinated and distributed defense fully operational. Blockchain technology offers an out-of-the-box solution that not only reduces the complexity of signaling DDoS attack information, but could also provide means of establishing financial incentives, for cooperation at a reduced operational cost. This work presents the Blockchain Signaling System (BloSS), a novel approach deploying hardware to simplify the signaling of DDoS attacks in a cooperative network defense system.

The exponential increase of the traffic volume makes Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks a top security threat to service providers. Existing DDoS defense mechanisms lack resources and flexibility to cope with attacks by themselves, and by utilizing other’s companies resources, the burden of the mitigation can be shared. Technologies as blockchain and smart contracts allow distributing...

Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on the Internet have become an immediate problem. As DDoS streams do not have common characteristics, currently available intrusion detection systems (IDS) can not detect them accurately. As a result, defend DDoS attacks based on current available IDS will dramatically affect legitimate traffic. In this paper, we propose a distributed approach to def...

DDoS attacks have major impact on the affected networks viz. packet transmission delays, network outage, website sabotage, financial losses, legitimate-user blockage and reputation damage. Existing DDoS detection techniques are either implemented at the victim node (but the damage is already done) or at many intermediate routers which run DDoS detection algorithms, that adds additional delay an...
