Description
Summary:We develop a framework for the analysis of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks in computer networks. In this framework, we identify the components and resources that collectively and in time, construct a service that may become unavailable due to the unavailability of those resources as a result of a DoS. We also construct the notion of service resilience pre-ordering to compare the effectiveness of solutions proposed to improve a system's resilience against DoS. We apply our framework and methods to some cases, and show their usefulness and applicability in practice. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
