MAC Layer Attacks in 802.15.4 Sensor Networks
Vojislav B. Mišić, Jun Fung, Jelena Mišić · Auerbach Publications eBooks · 2006
In this chapter, we consider the networks compliant with the recent IEEE 802.15.4 standard and describe a number of possible attacks at the MAC layer.Several of these attacks can be easily launched with devices that are fully compliant with the 802.15.4 standard, and we show that such attacks can introduce serious disruption.We also discuss some remedial measures that may help defend against those attacks, or at least alleviate their impact on the performance of the network.
