Abstract | Recently, internet services have increased rapidly due to the Covid-19 epidemic. As a result, cloud computing applications, which serve end-users as subscriptions, are rising. Cloud computing provides various possibilities like cost savings, time and access to online resources via the internet for end-users. But as the number of cloud users increases, so does the potential for attacks. The availability and efficiency of cloud computing resources may be affected by a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack that could disrupt services' availability and processing power. DDoS attacks pose a serious threat to the integrity and confidentiality of computer networks and systems that remain important assets in the world today. Since there is no effective way to detect DDoS attacks, it is a reliable weapon for cyber attackers. However, the existing methods have limitations, such as relatively low accuracy detection and high false rate performance. To tackle these issues, this paper proposes a Deep Generative Radial Neural Network (DGRNN) with a sigmoid activation function and Mutual Information Gain based Feature Selection (MIGFS) techniques for detecting DDoS attacks for the cloud environment. Specifically, the proposed first pre-processing step uses data preparation using the (Network Security Lab) NSL-KDD dataset. The MIGFS algorithm detects the most efficient relevant features for DDoS attacks from the pre-processed dataset. The features are calculated by trust evaluation for detecting the attack based on relative features. After that, the proposed DGRNN algorithm is utilized for classification to detect DDoS attacks. The sigmoid activation function is to find accurate results for prediction in the cloud environment. So thus, the proposed experiment provides effective classification accuracy, performance, and time complexity. |
