Distributed service control technique for detecting security attacks

We propose Distributed Service Control (DSC) technique for securing critical services. One of the main aims of DSC is to deal with the attacks by minimising the attack surface between two hosts. In our model, light weight security policies are enforced at the client machines to ensure that the client can access the services using legitimate traffic only. This will minimise the number of attacks that can be generated by the malicious client machine on the server. We will show that our model can increase the availability of the critical services. Our model can also be used as an early detection technique for the outbreak of worms.
