Flooding based Distributed Denial of Service Attacks Prevention using Blockchain Technology
Keywords:
Flooding, DDoS Attacks, Blockchain Technology, Prevention, Markov ProcessAbstract
The threats of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are a significant concern for online services. In order to prevent genuine users from accessing the target servers or networks, these assaults entail flooding them with excessive amounts of traffic. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks pose a significant threat to the availability and reliability of online services. Among the various types of DDoS attacks, flooding-based attacks, which overwhelm a target system with a high volume of traffic, are particularly challenging to mitigate. Blockchain technology has become a more viable option in recent years for enhancing the security and resilience of network infrastructures. This paper explores the potential of Blockchain technology in preventing flooding-based DDoS attacks. By leveraging the decentralized and immutable nature of Blockchain, along with its ability to enforce consensus and facilitate secure transactions, novel approaches for detecting and mitigating flooding-based DDoS attacks can be developed. This paper provides an overview of existing techniques for DDoS attack prevention using Blockchain technology, discusses their strengths and limitations, and proposes future research directions in this area.
