Detection and Prevention of UDP Reflection Amplification Attack in WSN Using Cumulative Sum Algorithm

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks are used in many areas such as war field surveillance, monitoring of patient, controlling traffic, environmental and building surveillance. Wireless technology, on the other hand, brings a load of new threats with it. Because WSNs communicate across radio frequencies, they are more susceptible to interference than wired networks. The authors of this research look at the goals of WSNs in terms of security as well as DDOS attacks. The majority of techniques are available for detecting DDOS attacks in WSNs. These alternatives, on the other hand, stop the assault after it has begun, resulting in data loss and wasting limited sensor node resources. The study finishes with a new method for detecting the UDP Reflection Amplification Attack in WSN, as well as instructions on how to use it and how to deal with the case.
