Abstract: 
Security in cloud environments is paramount due to the increasing prevalence of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, which can severely disrupt services and cause significant financial and data losses. Traditional security mechanisms, such as Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Firewalls, often struggle to detect and mitigate novel, evolving threats due to the lack of predefined detection signatures. This paper proposes a real-time signature-based detection mechanism tailored specifically for cloud environments. The proposed system generates signatures in real-time, enabling the identification and prevention of emerging DDoS attacks. The effectiveness of the solution is validated through extensive experimental evaluations, demonstrating its ability to reduce attack impact and enhance cloud security.
