DDoS Attacks at MAC Layer in Tactical Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

The security problems of the tactical mobile ad hoc networks have become a research hotspot in recent years. For its characteristics of multi-hop, energy limited, strong self-organization, high mobility and so on, a cluster mobility model meeting the battlefield practical application is proposed. In...

Description
Summary:The security problems of the tactical mobile ad hoc networks have become a research hotspot in recent years. For its characteristics of multi-hop, energy limited, strong self-organization, high mobility and so on, a cluster mobility model meeting the battlefield practical application is proposed. In this model, the DDoS attacks are introduced to the tactical mobile ad hoc networks in both standby and moving cases. The simulation results show that moving networks are more vulnerable to DDoS attacks, and increasing the number of attackers will generate more obvious impacts.
