Denial-of-Service Attack Detection Based on Multivariate Correlation Analysis (2011)
Book Chapter
Tan, Z., Jamdagni, A., He, X., Nanda, P., & Liu, R. P. (2011). Denial-of-Service Attack Detection Based on Multivariate Correlation Analysis. In Neural Information Processing; Lecture Notes in Computer Science (756-765). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-24965-5_85

The reliability and availability of network services are being threatened by the growing number of Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. Effective mechanisms for DoS attack detection are demanded. Therefore, we propose a multivariate correlation analysis... Read More about Denial-of-Service Attack Detection Based on Multivariate Correlation Analysis.

An Integrated Cloud-based Healthcare Infrastructure. (2011)
