Preventing dropping packets attack in sensor networks: A game theory approach
Libin Yang, Dejun Mu, Xiaoyan Cai · Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences · 2008
Focusing on dropping packets attacks in sensor networks, we propose a model of dropping packets attack-resistance as a repeated game based on such an assumption that sensor nodes are rational. The model prevents malicious nodes from attacking by establishing punishment mechanism, and impels sensor networks to reach a collaborative Nash equilibrium. Simulation results show that the devised model can effectively resist the dropping packets attacks(DPA) by choosing reasonable configuration parameters.
