Abstract

Per-hop authentication is the most effective way to prevent DOS attacks during multihop data delivery. Although the study results show that Public Key Cryptography (PKC) is feasible on sensor nodes with limited resources, it is still very expensive to perform per-hop authentication using public key digital signature. To solve the problem that the resources of WSN is exhausted quickly by PKC, Dynamic Window Based Multihop Authentication(DWMA) for WSN is proposed in this paper. Dynamic window makes it possible to pay only a small number of authentication based on digital signature for confining DoS attacks effectively in a small scope and locating suspicious nodes quickly. Experimental results show that DWMA could save more resources than per-hop authentication for WSN, defend DoS attacks effectively and locate malicious nodes. It's an effective protocol for ensuring the resistance of DoS in routing.

Limiting DoS attacks during multihop data delivery in wireless sensor networks

Denial of Service (DoS) attacks can be easily launched in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Due to their resource constraints, namely limited energy, memory and bandwidth, WSNs are especially vulnerable to DoS attacks. This paper addresses a particular ...
Secure Dynamic Identity-Based Authentication Scheme Using Smart Cards

In 2004, Das et al. proposed a dynamic identity-based remote user authentication scheme using smart cards. This scheme allows users to choose and change their passwords freely, and the server does not maintain any verification table. Das et al. claimed ...
A cloud-based secure authentication (CSA) protocol suite for defense against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks

Cloud-based services have become part of our day-to-day software solutions. The identity authentication process is considered to be the main gateway to these services. As such, these gates have become increasingly susceptible to aggressive attackers, ...
