TElDTLSServerFactory is designed to protect TElDTLSServer from DoS (Denial-of-Service) attacks.
Description
TElDTLSServerFactory waits for incoming datagrams. When client sends its
ClientHello message,
it is processed in the
ProcessRequest method.
TElDTLSServerFactory generates a cookie using a unique ID of the incoming connection. This cookie is sent back to the client,
which should respond with its
ClientHello message and the cookie added. If the received cookie is valid, TElDTLSServerFactory
creates a DTLS server and fires
OnServerCreated event.
Such verification mechanism provides defence against DoS attacks from spoofed IP addresses,
however it gives no protection against DoS attacks mounted from valid IP addresses.
