Detection and Mitigation of Denial of Service Attacks Using Stratified Architecture

Denials of Service (DoS) attacks are one of the major threats and areconsidered as one of the hardest problem in the internet today. Another variant of this is the Distributed Denial of Service (DDos) which is even more powerful because of its distributive nature. The main objective of this article is to prevent or protect a machine from being affected from these attacks. This article consists of a series of Denial of Service attacks on a target machine and proposes an algorithm which prevents Dos attacks. This algorithm has three(3) layers through which the requesting client goes through for efficient authentication.
