Rohit Srivastava, Rohit Sharma, Avinash Verma

Abstract: In the today’s world cloud computing has become a very prominent technology in field of research and business. It can be realized as assimilated technology of parallel computing, network storage technology, grid computing, distributed computing and other modern existing technologies. According to our comprehensive approach we know that cloud computing provides resources and services to their clients on behalf of their demands. These cloud services are sometimes abjured due to receiving a huge amount of requests. This type of retraction in service providence of cloud environment is also considered as Denial of service attack in cloud environment. DDoS attack is the enhanced form of DOS attack. In this paper the author is going to represent a framework for recognizing and analyzing this attack with the help of multi agent system. Here the author describes the integration of the results achieved by the Intrusion detection agents (IDA), existing inside virtual machine of cloud system with a method of data fusion in front- end. At the time of attack the IDA generates alert signals which will be stored inside the My sql database residing in Cloud synthesizing unit (CSU). The author propose a quantitative approach to explore the alerts yielded by IDA using Dempester Shapher Theory operation having three valued logic and Fault tree Analysis described for various flooding attacks. Finally we combine the results achieved by various IDAs.
