Poster Abstract: Real-Time DDoS Detection Based on Complex Event Processing for IoT

With the Internet of Things expansion, there has been an increase in the development of services and applications that use context-aware devices incorporated into smart environments. Those devices produce large quantities of data and demand faster and more precise defense mechanisms. Complex Event Processing (CEP) is an emerging and promising technology that allows real-time analysis of continuous data-steams. In this work, we proposed and developed a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) detection system and evaluated its performance running on a Raspberry Pi. The results show that the system can be executed on devices with reduced computational power and that CEP is a viable solution to improve the real-time performance on the detection of DDoS attacks on IoT environments.
