A New Method to Resist Flooding Attacks in Ad Hoc Networks
Shaomei Li, Qiang Liu, Hongchang Chen, Mantang Tan · 2006
Flooding attack is a novel and powerful attack against on-demand ad hoc routing protocols. At present, FAP (flooding attack prevention) is the single scheme proposed to resist such attack. This paper analyses the security hole of FAP, and presents a new and simpler solution, AMTT (avoiding mistaken transmission table) scheme. In this scheme, legal nodes can distinguish illegal nodes and refuse to forward packages for them, so flooding attack can be defended. Through analysis, AMTT shows it can resist flooding attack at little cost
