    Investigating Real-Time Entropy Features of DDoS Attack Based on Categorized Partial-Flows
    (IEEE, 2020-01) Lotfalizadeh, Hamidreza; Kim, Dongso S.; Electrical and Computer Engineering, School of Engineering and Technology
    With the advent of IoT devices and exponential growth of nodes on the internet, computer networks are facing new challenges, with one of the more important ones being DDoS attacks. In this paper, new features to detect initiation and termination of DDoS attacks are investigated. The method to extract these features is devised with respect to some openflowbased switch capabilities. These features provide us with a higher resolution to view and process packet count entropies, thus improving DDoS attack detection capabilities. Although some of the technical assumptions are based on SDN technology and openflow protocol, the methodology can be applied in other networking paradigms as well.
