Defence Against 802.11 DoS Attacks Using Artificial Immune System
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present an Artificial Immune System (AIS) based security framework, which prevents a number of serious Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. The proposed security framework can counter de-authentication and disassociation attacks. The results of our experiments clearly demonstrate that the proposed framework approximately achieved 100% detection rate with negligible false positive rate. One can conclude from the ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristics) plots of our AIS that its performance approaches ‘perfect classification point’ at a suitable matching threshold value.

802.11 DCF Denial of Service Vulnerabilities
Abstract This paper addresses denial of service vulnerabilities (DOS) in 802.11 wireless LANs that arise from the 802.11 distributed coordination function (DCF). We demonstrate that the DCF is vulnerable to equivalent DOS attacks at both the MAC and PHY layers. Denial of service attacks against the DCF are easily staged by a single adversary and affect both infrastructure and mobile ad hoc netw...
متن کاملDenial of Service Attacks against 802.11 Dcf
This paper investigates the vulnerabilities in the 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) mechanisms. We have conducted a series of Denial of Service (DoS) attack experiments targeting at the 802.11 DCF and evaluated the effectiveness of such attacks on different configurations. The results show that any current or upcoming 802.11 standards would not provide adequate help to mitigate th...
متن کاملUsing Random Bit Authentication to Defend IEEE 802.11 DoS Attacks
IEEE 802.11 networks are insecure. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), the security mechanism used in 802.11, was proved to be vulnerable. IEEE 802.11i, the security enhancement, concentrates only on integrity and confidentiality of transmitted frames. Either version did not properly handle the network availability. Because management frames are not authenticated, {802.11, 802.11i} networks are sus...
متن کاملChannel Switch and Quiet Attack: New DoS Attacks exploiting the 802.11 Standard (Demo Proposal)
IEEE 802.11-based wireless networks are being deployed in large numbers in home, business, and public environments but also in critical environments like hospitals or production plants where reliance on their availability is crucial. Despite security mechanisms having been introduced to the standard to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity, availability remains a particular challe...
متن کاملDefence against denial of service in self-aware networks
Denial of Service (DoS) has become a prevalent threat in today’s networks. Motivated by an impressive variety of reasons and directed against an equally impressive variety of targets, DoS attacks are not as difficult to launch as one would expect. Protection against them is, however, disproportionately difficult. Despite the extensive research in recent years, DoS attacks continue to harm. In o...
