Application Specific Processor for Stateful Network Traffic Processing
Kučera, Jan ; Matoušek, Jiří (referee) ; Kekely, Lukáš (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the design and implementation of an application-specific processor for high-speed network traffic processing. The main goal is to provide complex system for hardware acceleration of various network security and monitoring applications. The application-specific processor (hardware part of the system) is implemented on an FPGA card and has been designed with respect to be used in 100 Gbps networks. The design is based on the unique combination of high-speed hardware processing and flexible software control using a new concept called Software Defined Monitoring (SDM). The performance and throughput of the proposed system has been verified and measured.

Hardware-Accelerated Device for Protection Against DoS Attacks
Kuka, Mário ; Kekely, Lukáš (referee) ; Kučera, Jan (advisor)
This thesis deals with the development of a firmware for hardware-accelerated device used as a protection against amplification (D)DoS attacks. In the today's world, (D)DoS attacks are very common and cause significant financial damages. Therefore the goal is to create affordable and easy to deploy centralized device that would resolve this issue. To reach this goal, a hardware accelerator is being used for the high-volume data transfer processing through a single commonly used server. Design and implementation of the firmware had been done considering the fact that this device will be used in the networks with 100\,Gbps speed. The whole system had undergone functional verification and its real throughput was verified within the laboratory testing as well. Created device has been already deployed into the CESNET network infrastructure during the time of the writing of this thesis and it has been tested by the network administrators. Based on the received feedback, the development will continue focusing on expanding of the detection of more types of attacks.

P4 Language-Based Description of Accelerated Device against DoS Attacks
Kuka, Mário ; Kekely, Lukáš (referee) ; Kučera, Jan (advisor)
This thesis describes the development of a networking device used to defend against (D)DoS attacks using P4 language. The main purpose was to design flexible device using P4 lan-guage based on already existing device, this would allow us to quickly react and respond to new more complex DDoS attacks. The design of the device dealt with the transfer of individual parts of the firmware into the P4 language. Subsequently, the entire device firmware was designed for hardware accelerators with FPGA technology. The firmware had been designed with respect to the limitations of current P4 language compilers. The device has been tested under laboratory conditions for functionality and performance. The device will be deployed in the network infrastructure of CESNET.

System for Protection against DoS Attacks
Šiška, Pavel ; Wrona, Jan (referee) ; Kučera, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the design and implementation of the software part of the system for protection against DoS attacks. Nowadays Denial of Service attacks are quite common and can cause significant financial damage to internet or service providers. The main goal of this thesis was to provide software, which is focused on high-speed data throughput and can provide efficient protection against these attacks in 100 Gbps networks. Key part of the system, which is being developed in cooperation with CESNET, is hardware-accelerated network interface card, which can process incoming network traffic at full wire-speed and does the operations laid down by the software part. The main task of the software is evaluation of the information about network traffic and managing actions of the hardware accelerator. The software part of the proposed system has been successfully implemented and the properties of the system have been verified in an experimental evaluation. During the work on this thesis the first implementation of the system has already been deployed in CESNET network infrastructure.
