Captcha-Based Defense Mechanism to Prevent DoS Attacks

description: The denial of service (DoS) attack, in the current scenario, is more vulnerable to the banking system and online transactions. Conventional mechanism of DoS attacks consumes a lot of bandwidth, and there will always be performance degradation with respect to the traffic in any of the communication networks. As there is an advent over the network bandwidth, in the current era, DoS attacks have been moved from the network to servers and API. An idea has been proposed which is CAPTCHA-based defense, a purely system-based approach. In the normal case, the protection strategy for DDoS attacks can be achieved with the help of many session schedulers. The main advantage is to efficiently avoid the DoS attacks and increase the server speed as well as to avoid congestion and data loss. This is majorly concerned in a wired network to reduce the delays and to avoid congestion during attacks. 2021, The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
