Survey on the development of mimic defense in cyberspace:from mimic concept to “mimic+” ecology by Hailong MA, Liang WANG, Tao HU, Yiming JIANG, Yanze QU

“…Build upon the dynamic-heterogeneous-redundant architecture for multi-body execution, multi-mode ruling and multi-dimension reconstruction, cyberspace mimic defense (CMD) uses uncertain system to deal with the uncertain threat to cyberspace ubiquity.The evolution of CMD over the past 8 years were reviewed systematically from the vertical, horizontal, current, developing and future perspectives.From the vertical perspective, the development process of CMD from concept to theory and practice was summarized.From the horizontal view, it elaborated the core structure DHR (dynamical heterogeneous redundancy) of CMD, the principles based on CMD’s three major theorems, safety gains and performance costs.A comparison was conducted between CMD and five other active defense technologies, namely intrusion tolerance, moving target defense, zero trust architecture, trusted computing and computer immunology.From the current perspective, it reviewed the implementation elements, performance, system architecture, heterogeneous strategies, scheduling strategies, voting strategies and other common technology patterns and characteristics of 11 types of main existing mimic products including mimicry router, mimicry processor, mimicry DNS server and mimicry cloud platform.From the developing perspective, it explored the “mimic+” AICDS (Mimic + AI/IoT/Cloud/Data/SDN) symbiotic ecology with respect to 5 types of new technologies, namely artificial intelligence, Internet of things, cloud computing, big data and software-defined network, and proposed the corresponding technology junctions and cross research value.From the future perspective, it looked into the future mimicry baseline 2.0 product ecology, “mimic +5G/6G”, “mimic + edge computing”,“mimic + cloud” and “mimic + blockchain” application scenarios.Besides, 4 types of challenges faced by CMD in the future were analyzed and summarized, including escape space of multi-mode decision attack, mutual restriction of heterogeneous and synchronous, difficult balance between security and function, and limited transformation space of existing endogenous security components.…”

Multi-type low-rate DDoS attack detection method based on hybrid deep learning by Lijuan LI, Man LI, Hongjun BI, Huachun ZHOU

“…Low-Rate distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack attacks the vulnerabilities in the adaptive mechanism of network protocols, posing a huge threat to the quality of network services.Low-Rate DDoS attack was characterized by high secrecy, low attack rate, and periodicity.Existing detection methods have the problems of single detection type and low identification accuracy.In order to solve them, a multi-type low-rate DDoS attack detection method based on hybrid deep learning was proposed.Different types of low-rate DDoS attacks and normal traffic in different scenarios under 5G environment were simulated.Traffic was collected at the network entrance and its traffic characteristic information was extracted to obtain multiple types of low-rate DDoS attack data sets.From the perspective of statistical threshold and feature engineering, the characteristics of different types of low-rate DDoS attacks were analyzed respectively, and the effective feature set of 40-dimension low-rate DDoS attacks was obtained.CNN-RF hybrid deep learning algorithm was used for offline training based on the effective feature set, and the performance of this algorithm was compared with LSTM-Light GBM and LSTM-RF algorithms.The CNN-RF detection model was deployed on the gateway to realize the online detection of multiple types of low-rate DDoS attacks, and the performance was evaluated by using the newly defined error interception rate and malicious traffic detection rate indexes.The results show that the proposed method can detect four types of low-rate DDoS attacks online, including Slow Headers attack, Slow Body attack, Slow Read attack and Shrew attack, and the error interception rate reaches 11.03% in 120 s time window.The detection rate of malicious traffic reaches 96.22%.It can be judged by the results that the proposed method can significantly reduce the intensity of low-rate DDoS attack traffic at the network entrance, and can be deployed and applied in the actual environment.…”
