Vampire Attack : Detection and Elimination in Wsn

Ambili M. A, Biju Balakrishnan

Abstract :

Network survivability is the ability of a network keeping connected under failures and attacks, which is the most important issue in the design and performance of wireless ad hoc sensor networks. The motivation of a large portion of research efforts has been to maximize the network lifetime, where the lifetime of network is measured from the instant of deployment to the point when one of the nodes has exhausted its limited power source and becomes in-operational - commonly referred as first node failure. But there is a class of resource consumption attack called vampire attack which permanently disables the whole network by quickly draining nodes battery. The paper projects its focus on the way in which the attack can be overcome in the best possible manner. The proposed system describes some methods and alternative routing protocols solution that help to detect and eliminate vampire attack and thus make the network live.
