Abstract
Distributed denial of service attacks are often considered just a security problem. While this may be the way to view the problem with the Internet of today, perhaps new network architectures attempting to address the issue should view it as a scalability problem. In addition, they may need to approach the problem based on a rigorous foundation.

Surviving Distributed Denial-of-Service Attacks
A series of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks were launched against computer systems and services in the US and South Korea beginning July 4th. A DDoS attack is an attempt to make a computer service unavailable to its intended users. The ...
The Denial-of-Service Dance
By understanding the types of attacks available to an adversary, we can develop more effective defenses against them. A taxonomy of denial-of-service attacks based on a dance-hall metaphor is a step toward gaining such an understanding.
Securing wireless mobile nodes from distributed denial-of-service attacks
The current mobile devices have become smart and are increasingly being used for conducting business and personal activities. Also, there is increasing number of attacks targeting such mobile devices. The term mobile botnet refers to group of mobile ...
