Completed projects (Master's Degree):

1) Effectively Protecting SDN-enabled Cloud Computing from Potential Attacks using an Elastic-Hybrid Honeynet.

[Completed]

- Propose a elastic and optimal resource consumption mechanism to prevent Scanning attacks for a public cloud based on SDN and OpenStack technologies.

- Illustrate an effective protection scheme from Scanning attacks and a fast-response cloud system in terms of tracing attackers and migrating attack traffic.

- Testbed: Clients, OpenFlow switches, Servers (OpenStack Platform), SDN Controllers.

2) Development of Machine-learning based Network Attack Detection and Dynamic Defense Security System using SDN-based NFV.

[Completed]

- Introduce ML-based security solutions for attack detection and adaptive defense in SDNFV Cloud Computing.

- Show how SDNFV Cloud advantages compared to legacy networks in attack defense.

- Testbed: OpenFlow switches, Routers, Servers (OpenStack Platform), SDN Controllers.

3) S2eH: A Substantial Denial-of-Service Attack Defender in SDNFV-Based Cloud Computing.

[Completed]

- Introduce a novel mechanism for DoS protection in SDNFV Cloud Computing.

- Show how SDN helps SFC security services in improving accuracy and resource utilization as well.

- Testbed: HP switches, Routers, Servers (OpenStack), POX, Floodlight Controller.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4) Elastic Network Intrusion Detection System (ENIDS) in SDNFV:

(Completed)

- Introduce a new solution for distributing NIDSs in Data Center and Cloud Provider based on OpenStack and Software-Defined Networking.

- ENIDS shows an optimized cloud resource mechanism.

- Testbed: HP switches, Routers, Servers, Floodlight Controller.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5) OpenFlow Random Host Mutation (OF-RHM) in SDNFV-Based Cloud Computing:

(Completed)

- Introduce an efficient security solution for defending Scanning attacks in Cloud and Data Center.

- Apply strong algorithms to enhance unpredictability from scanning tools.

- Testbed: HP switches, Routers, Servers, Floodlight Controller.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6) Distributed-Self Organizing Map in Software-Definded Networking to Defense DDoS Attacks: (Completed)

- We present a novel mechanism using the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) application to solve the performance bottleneck and overload problems for the upper layers in a large-sized SDN in case of flooding attacks.

- Our proposed approach integrates a Distributed Self-Organizing Map (DSOM) system to OpenFlow Switches instead of using a standalone SOM.

- This work is under review in the Journal of Network and Computer Applications 2016.
