An Efficient Packet Hiding Method for Preventing Jamming Attacks in Wireless Networks

As the features of mobility, adaptability, versatility and the most importantly cost-effectiveness is supported by wireless medium, therefore, it becomes most dominated mechanism in computer networks. But, at the same time, the chances of vulnerability by injecting the various attacks in the networks are increasing, out of which preventing the Denial of Service (DoS) Attack is a major issue among the researchers. In this paper, we have compared various existing models for preventing the jamming attacks, especially under the internal threat model and highlighted their weaknesses and the side effect over the networks. To overcome the highlighted issues and to increase the efficiency, we have designed a new protocol that is not only easy to implement but also provided the higher security.
