conference contribution

A packet dropping attack is one of the major security threats in OppNets as neither source nodes nor destination nodes have any knowledge of when or where a packet will be dropped. In this paper, we present a novel attack and detection mechanism against a special type of packet dropping where the malicious node drops one packet or more and injects a new fake packet instead. Our novel detection mechanism is very powerful and has very high accuracy. It relies on a very simple yet powerful idea; the creation time of each packet. Significant results show this robust mechanism achieves a very high accuracy and detection rate.
