Research on the detection and defense systems against DDoS attacks in ad hoc networks

Abstract

In wireless network environment, various types of denial-of-service attacks are possible due to its inherent characteristic limitations such as lack of a centralized authority and easy eavesdropping. An ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that form a temporary network without any centralized administration. Compared to conventional wired and other wireless networks, an ad hoc network is more vulnerable to DDoS attack because all nodes in such network are deployed in an opened, self-organized environment. In order to detect and defense DDoS attack to an ad hoc network, we proposed a complete, active, and effective DDoS detection and defense model. © 2014 WIT Press.
