A Secure Scheme for Denial-of-Service Attacks in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract


A new type of denial of service attack: Distributed Jammer Network (DJN) has risen in real time in wireless networks, which is made of a large number of low-power, tiny radio jammers. In this paper, the DJN which is capable of causing a phase transition in the performance of the target network has been modeled and the impact of DJN on the connectivity of the target network is analyzed based on network parameters. The jammers are distributed inside the network so as to prohibit certain types of Denial-of-service attacks. It is demonstrated that the DJN can effectively combat against Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. The hybrid FHSS-DSSS scheme has been applied to the legitimate nodes in the network so as to defend against the jamming attack and the simulation results are presented

Keywords
