EDOS Attack Prediction Finding in Cloud by USIN EDOS-ADS Technique

The most extensively used technology of todays world is Cloud Computing. Cloud Computing is a collection of resources (combination of software and hardware) which is provided to the users on the pay per use basis through internet. Basically it provides three types of services i.e, software as a service (SaaS), platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Cloud provides the facility to scale up its servers; storage etc. And can provide service to large number of requests. Cloud provides these facilities to its consumers in multitenant environment. But as the facility increases, vulnerability also increases. So security in cloud computing is one of the major challenge for service provider. Cloud service adopter takes the service based on pay per use. So the most vulnerable issue in cloud computing is that, sometimes distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack and cloud resource consuming attack is transformed to a new attack, which is Economic Denial of Sustainability (EDoS). It aims to consume the cloud resource by attacker, but the cost is finally paid by the legitimate user. EDoS attack is different from DDoS attack. The main goal of EDoS attack is to break down the victim’s budget, not to crash the server. This paper proposes a solution for EDoS attack on the basis of public key infrastructure (PKI). Through the proposed technique, any unauthorized person will not be able to take the services of cloud and legitimate user will pay only for the Resources which it actually used.
