A Novel Intrusion Tolerant System Using Live Migration

Abstract

This letter proposes a novel intrusion tolerant system consisting of several virtual machines (VMs) that refresh the target system periodically and by live migration, which monitors the many features of the VMs to identify and replace exhausted VMS. The proposed scheme provides adequate performance and dependability against denial of service (DoS) attacks. To show its efficiency and security, we conduct experiments on the CSIM20 simulator, which showed 22% improvement in a normal situation and approximately 77.83% improvement in heavy traffic in terms of the response time compared to that reported in the literature. We measure and compare the response time. The result show that the proposed scheme has shorter response time and maintains than other systems and supports services during the heavy traffic.
