Intrusion Detection Systems and a View to Its Forensic Applications

Traditional computer security has often emphasised prevention, and to a lesser degree, the detection of system security violations. However, it is recognised that the forensic aspect to the overall model of computer security is equally as important. The area of computer forensics lends itself heavily to the response of a...

An Efficient Filter for Denial-of-Service Bandwidth Attacks

This paper presents an efficient method for detecting and filtering denial-of-service bandwidth attacks. The system called TOPS Tabulated Online Packet Statistics can monitor a large number of network addresses in a compact, fixed-size structure using several effective heuristics. The paper demonstrates that TOPS can detect bandwidth attacks in a standard...

ADSL at 250 megabits per second?

Some of you are old enough to remember that it was usual to catch a conversation between complete strangers when you were calling someone on the phone. This phenomenon, called cross-talk, also affects ADSL broadband connections today. But according to the Sydney Morning Herald, an Australian researcher, John Papandriopoulos, has...

A SLA-Oriented Management of Containers for Hosting Stateful Web Services

Service-Oriented Architectures provide integration of interoperability for independent and loosely coupled services. Web services and the associated new standards such as WSRF are frequently used to realise such Service-Oriented Architectures. In such systems, autonomic principles of self-configuration, self-optimisation, self-healing and self-adapting are desirable to ease management and improve robustness. This...

Lossy Bulk Synchronous Parallel Processing Model for Very Large Scale Grids

The performance of a parallel algorithm in a very large scale grid is significantly influenced by the underlying Internet protocols and inter-connectivity. Many grid programming platforms use TCP due to its reliability, usually with some optimizations to reduce its costs. However, TCP does not perform well in a high bandwidth...

An Evaluation Technique for Network Intrusion Detection Systems

Various algorithms have been developed to identify different types of network intrusions; however there is no heuristic to confirm the accuracy of their results. The exact effectiveness of a network intrusion detection system's ability to identify malicious sources cannot be reported unless a concise measurement of performance is available. This...
