Abstract

Typical intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) require a lot of computing resources such as; CPU time, memory, and energy. However, some resources are not in abundance in fog computing (FC). FC is a computer networking paradigm where computing devices provide services to the user in place of the server. In our previous research, we proposed an IDPS that mimics the human immune behavior by using layers of defense that interact with one another to detect attacks aimed at the fog layer. This paper investigates how the proposed system adapts to denial of service (DoS) and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. The results show that the system has an accuracy of 91.46%. More importantly, the system can recover from both with the help of its intrusion prevention mechanism.
