        Cloud computing is an emerging technology that is widely used to provide computing, data storage services and other remote resources over the Internet. Availability of cloud services is one of the most important concerns of cloud service providers. While cloud services are mainly transmitted over the Internet, they are prone to various attacks that may lead to the leakage of sensitive information. Distributed DDoS attack is known as one of the most important security threats to the cloud computing environment. This attack is an explicit attempt by an attacker to block or deny access to shared services or resources in a cloud environment. This paper discusses a hybrid approach to dealing with DDoS attack in the cloud computing environment. This method highlights the importance of effective feature-based selection methods and classification models. Here, an entropy-based approach and particle swarm optimization to counter these attacks in a cloud computing environment is presented. Classification on high-dimensional data typically requires feature selection as a pre-processing step to reduce the dimensionality. However, effective features selecting is a challenging task, which in this paper uses particle swarm optimization. Here, the proposed classification model is developed based on the use of a balanced binary search tree and dictionary data structure. The simulation is based on the NSL-KDD and CICDDoS2019 datasets, which prove the superiority of the proposed method with an average detection accuracy of 99.84% over the AGA and E-SVM algorithms.

        Introduction: In recent decades, rapid development in the world of technology and networks has achieved, also there is a spread of Internet of thing services in all fields over the world. Piracy numbers have increased, also a lot of modern systems were penetrated. Thus the developing information security technologies to detect the new attack become an important requirement.Method: One of the most important information security technologies is an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) that uses machine learning and deep learning techniques to detect anomalies in the network. In all of the information processing systems, detecting cyber-attacks is one of the main challenges and its effects can be blocked or limited by timely detection of attacks. The IoT system is no exception to this phenomenon, and with the high development of this technology and the expansion of its infrastructure, the need for an intelligent intrusion detection system with high accuracy and speed is essential. Neural networks are modern systems and computational methods for machine learning, knowledge representation, and the application of acquired knowledge to maximize the output accuracy of complex systems. Neural networks have already been used to solve many problems related to pattern recognition, data mining, data compression and research is still underway with regards to intrusion detection systems. One of the disadvantages of using training with classical methods in neural networks is getting stuck in local optimal points. In this paper, we use the meta-heuristic algorithm of Imperial competition algorithm (ICA) to train neural networks and show that in the field of intrusion detection in the IoT system, it can show much better accuracy and speed to classical training methods.Results: Results show that our proposed method has 90% accuracy. This method has a better performance in comparison to classical neural network that has 75% accuracy.Discussion: In this article, we will show that the use of imperial competition evolutionary optimization algorithms instead of traditional methods can increase the accuracy of the IDS system. In addition, evolutionary optimization algorithms are zero order and less complicated than gradient methods. Therefore, using this method, in addition to reducing the cost of system implementation, can increase the speed and accuracy of intrusion detection. In addition, from reliability point of view, we will show that the ICA-based systems are more stable in different implementations. Manuscript profile
