Wireless Sensor Networks are exposed to serious security threat called jamming. This type of attacks with wireless transmission can be used as a catalyst for rising Denial-of-service attacks. This paper considers the problem of jamming under an internal threat model, where the attacker who is aware of all the network secrets and the details of implementation which results in the difficulty of detection. Jamming is broken down in to layers and this paper focuses on jamming at the Transport/Network layer. To overcome these attacks, we develop three schemes that prevent the attacker from attacking the packets. Then we evaluate the security of our schemes.
