Using mobile agents to detect node compromise in path-based DoS attacks on wireless sensor networks

Wireless sensor networks represent a new generation of real-time  embedded systems with significantly different communication constraints from the traditional networked systems. With their development, a new attack called a path-based DoS (PDoS) attack has appeared. In a PDoS attack, an adversary, either inside or outside the network, overwhelms sensor nodes by flooding a multi-hop endto- end communication path with either replayed packets or injected spurious packets. In this article, we propose a solution using mobile agents which can detect PDoS attacks easily.

IFIP TC3/WG3.6 : Quality education @ a distance : IFIP TC3/WG3.6 Working Conference on Quality Education @ a Distance, February 3-6, 2003, Geelong, Australia

This work considers several aspects of providing quality education at a distance - quality of systems that support online learning, quality support infrastructure, quality of technical access and support, materials distribution. Issues in each of these areas are considered.
