Abstract
This paper proposes an IP traceback mechanism for a large scale distributed Online voting system. The proposed system is based on replication and tolerates arbitrary failures of servers. The service based on security concerns of web server is implemented by IP trace back system based on Deterministic Packet Marking scheme (DPM). It provides a defense system with ability to reconstruct the source IP when required. Unlike other marking schemes, Deterministic Packet Marking reduces the computational overhead and needs no additional bandwidth. The main objective of this paper is to propose an effective trace back mechanism for DDoS attacks using Extended DPM scheme. The proposed scheme is applied to Secure Online voting system, which in turn improves the security process involved in the system. It resolves the disadvantages of existing online voting methods by increasing throughput of processing web server.
