An Adaptive Approach for Defending against DDoS Attacks
In various network attacks, the Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack is a severe threat. In order to deal with this kind of attack in time, it is necessary to establish a special type of defense system to change strategy dynamically against attacks. In this paper, we introduce an adaptive app...
