Sensitive Ants for Denial Jamming Attack on Wireless Sensor Network

TL;DR

This paper introduces a novel ant-based sensitive ant system to detect and isolate jamming attacks in wireless sensor networks, improving security by dynamically redirecting affected network traffic.

Contribution

It presents a new sensitive ant algorithm that reacts to jamming attacks based on sensitivity levels, enhancing detection and response in WSNs.

Findings

Effective detection of jamming attacks using sensitive ants

Successful isolation of attacked nodes in simulations

Improved network resilience against jamming

Abstract

A new defence mechanism for different jamming attack on Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) based on ant system it is introduced. The artificial sensitive ants react on network attacks in particular based on their sensitivity level. The information is re-directed from the attacked node to its appropriate destination node. It is analyzed how are detected and isolated the jamming attacks with mobile agents in general and in particular with the newly ant-based sensitive approach.
