A Novel Method for Preventing Selective Jamming Attacks in Wireless Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
Wireless networks are susceptible to numerous security vulnerabilities due to the open nature of the wireless medium. Anyone with a transceiver can eavesdrop on ongoing transmissions, block the transmission of legitimate ones or inject spurious messages. One of the fundamental ways for degrading the overall network performance is by jamming wireless transmissions. In this paper, we deal with the problem of selective jamming under an internal threat model. Here the eavesdropper who is aware of network secrets and the implementation details of all the layers of network protocols in the network stack. The attacker uses his/her internal knowledge for launching selective jamming attacks in which high importance messages are targeted. Hence we propose a novel method for preventing selective jamming attacks in wireless networks.

Packet-Hiding Methods for Preventing Selective Jamming Attacks
The open nature of the wireless medium leaves it vulnerable to intentional interference attacks, typically referred to as jamming. This intentional interference with wireless transmissions can be used as a launch pad for mounting Denial-of-Service attacks on wireless networks. Typically, jamming has been addressed under an external threat model. However, adversaries with internal knowledge of p...

Wireless networks now enjoy widespread commercial implementation because of their ease of use, low cost and setup. However, since accessing wireless media is much easier than tapping a wired network, then security becomes a serious concern when implementing any wireless network. We consider a particular class of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks called jamming attacks. In the simplest form of jam...
