In addition to DDoS attacks, a new form of attack known as Economic Denial of Sustainability (EDoS) attack has emerged in recent years. EDoS which is unique to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 7 · 29 Oct 2015 · 7,824 accessesView PDF Cite

Research NotesOpen accessA Proposed Framework for Outsourcing and Secure Encrypted Data on OpenStack Object Storage (Swift)Hala Albaroodi, Selvakumar Manickam, Mohammed AnbarDespite the numerous potential benefits of Open Source Cloud Computing (OSCC) in several industrial and academic-oriented environments, OSCC could be also associated with some risks. However, which a proper awareness to the cloud consumers or organisations, these risks can be clearly identify and avoided. OpenStack Swift security can provide a greater understanding of how OpenStack Swift functions and what types … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 14 May 2015 · 7,004 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessA REVIEW OF PEER-TO-PEER BOTNET DETECTION TECHNIQUESMohammed Jamil Elhalabi, Selvakumar Manickam, Loai Bani Melhim et al.In recent years, Peer-to-Peer technology has an extensive use. Botnets have exploited this technology efficiently and introduced the P2P botnet, which uses P2P network for remote control of its bots and become one of the most significant threats to computer networks. They are used to make DDOS attacks, generate spam, click fraud and steal sensitive information. Compared with traditional botnets, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 13 Nov 2013 · 7,591 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessResearch Proposal: An Intrusion Detection System Alert Reduction and Assessment Framework Based on Data MiningKarim Al-Saedi, Selvakumar Manickam, Sureswaran Ramadass et al.The Intrusion Detection System (IDS) generates huge amounts of alerts that are mostly false positives. The abundance of false positive alerts makes it difficult for the security analyst to identify successful attacks and to take remedial actions. Such alerts to have not been classified in accordance with their degree of threats. They further need to be processed to ascertain the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 8 May 2013 · 7,709 accessesView PDF Cite
