An Efficient Technique for Detection of Flooding and Jamming Attacks in Wireless Sensor Networks

Distributed denial of service attacks are a major threat for wireless sensor network. The aim of these attacks is that genuine users can not use network such as bandwidth, computing power and operating system data structures. Jamming and flooding attacks are one of the most popular attacks on WSN which cause DDoS. There is a requirement for the detection of these attacks rapidly and perfectly. For detection of these attacks, this paper suggests an efficient method. This method provides improved performance over the existing methods. The method is simulated using NS2 simulator. It has been concluded that this efficient method performs better in terms of energy, delay, throughput, packet loss and packet delivery ratio.
