Mitigating denial of service attacks in hierarchical wireless sensor networks
Rohan Nanda, Parimala Venkata Krishna · Network Security · 2011
Due to the considerable research and development invested in new networking protocols, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have proved to be an important emerging field. WSNs are widely used in homeland security and military applications, in hospitals for medical monitoring, and in industry. However, their limited battery and power options, processing capability and memory make WSNs vulnerable to a variety of network attacks.
