Author_Institution :

Abstract :
Summary form only given. Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks typically exhaust bandwidth, processing capacity, or memory of a targeted machine, service or network. Despite enormous efforts in combating DDoS attacks in the past decade, DDoS attacks are still a serious threat to the security of cyberspace. In this talk I shall outline the recent efforts of my research group in detection of and defence against DDoS attacks. In particular, this talk will concentrate on the following three critical issues related to DDoS attacks: (1) Traceback of DDoS attacks; (2) Detection of low-rate DDoS attacks; and (3) Discriminating DDoS attacks from flash crowds.
