A Shrew attack, which uses a low-rate burst carefully designed to exploit TCP’s retransmission timeout mechanism, can throttle the bandwidth of a TCP flow in a stealthy manner....
In this paper, we consider a distributed mechanism to detect and to defend against the low-rate TCP attack. The low-rate TCP attack is a recently discovered attack. In essence, it ...
— Low rate DoS attacks are emerging threats to the TCP traffic, and the VoIP traffic in the Internet. They are hard to detect as they intelligently send attack traffic inside the...
—Distributed systems without trusted identities are particularly vulnerable to sybil attacks, where an adversary creates multiple bogus identities to compromise the running of th...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are no longer a nascent technology and today, they are actively deployed as a viable technology in many diverse application domains such as health ...
