Performance Analysis of Wireless Sensor Networks Under Adverse Scenario of Attack
Divya Bharti, Neha Nainta, Himanshu Monga · 2019
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) refers to a group of sensors used for monitoring and recording the physical conditions of the environment and organizing the collected data at a central location. WSN has no mechanism that can organize or check the broadcast of information through the nodes. Nodes themselves are able to transmit the sensed information towards the Base Station, causing greater vulnerability of data being gathered and fiddled with. Amongst many such attacks, Rushing Attack specially is a frequently adapted strategy in On-demand protocol. The counter measure available for such kind of attack is not effective enough as most of the approaches have their own limitations. This work focuses on ill effects of Rushing Attack under different conditions with an intend to find out such limitations of each of the earlier adopted counter measures.
