- Game Theoretic Resistance to Denial of Service Attacks Using Hidden Difficulty Puzzles
- Denial of Service DoS vulnerabilities are one of the major concerns in today's Internet. Client-puzzles offer a good mechanism to defend servers against DoS attacks. This paper introduces the notion of hidden puzzle difficulty, where the attacker cannot determine the difficulty of the puzzle without expending a minimal amount of...

- Defending Against Distributed Denial-of-Service Attacks With Weight-Fair Router Throttling
- A high profile internet server is always a target of denial-of-service attacks. This paper proposes a novel technique for protecting an internet server from distributed denial-of-service attacks. The defense mechanism is based on a distributed algorithm that performs weight-fair throttling at the upstream routers. The throttling is weight-fair because the...
