The aim of this project is to define Vampire attacks, a new class of resource consumption attacks that use distance vector routing protocols to permanently disable ad hoc wireless sensor networks by depleting nodes' battery power. A node is permanently disabled once its battery power is exhausted; let us briefly consider nodes that recharge their batteries in the field, using either continuous charging...
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a collection of sensor nodes capable for sensing instantaneously. WSNs are widely deployed in hostile environment on ad-hoc basis. Routing protocols are used to discover a suitable route among sensor nodes and transfer sensed data from one node to another node. Several routing protocols are developed and configured according to their characteristics. Ad-hoc nature...
Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) suffer from security attacks and privacy issues, which dramatically impede their applications. In addition, the security measures applied in MANETs (like encryption and key distribution) have a number of negative effects on the network's performance. Cryptographic operations introduce a lot of both CPU and communication overhead. Therefore, routing protocols improvement...
Heterogeneous Nodes in a Mobile Ad Hoc NET-work(MANET) are having very constrained resources like memory, bandwidth, CPU speed, battery life etc. Here, Heterogeneous Nodes means, all/few nodes are having variety of functionality. Irrespective of having higher secured nodes and security algorithms in MANETs, some time, the honest nodes can be accessed by fraud/malicious nodes or simply attacked by...
The importance of resources and services availability in Ad Hoc networks has already been proved several times in the past. It concerns, essentially, node availability as well as routing and forwarding actions accessibility. Unfortunately, nodes' lifetimes may be reduced or even depleted which leads to route failure, packets loss, QoS deterioration, etc. This is mainly due to a battery problem that...
Wireless sensor networks are specific adhoc networks. They are characterized by their limited computing power and energy constraints. This paper proposes a study of security in this kind of network. We show what are the specificities and vulnerabilities of wireless sensor networks. We present a list of attacks, which can be found in these particular networks, and how they use their vulnerabilities...
Nodes in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are required to relay data packets to enable communication between other nodes that are not in radio range with each other. However, whether for selfish or malicious reasons, a node may fail to cooperate during the network operations or even attempt to disturb them, both of which have been recognized as misbehaviors. Various trust management schemes have been...
A principal factor in sensor network design is energy efficiency. In this work, we propose to extend the lifetime of sensor networks using appropriate choice of sensor node distribution. The key idea of our scheme is to deploy more nodes in areas of extensive energy usage. Using this scheme of sensor node distribution, we use probabilistic angular routing to route data packets from the sensor nodes...
Expected growth in use and implementation of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in different environments and for different applications creates new security challenges. In WSNs, a malicious node may initiate incorrect path information, change the contents of data packets, and even hijack one or more genuine network nodes. As the network reliability completely depends on individual nodespsila presence...
