Abstract
Wireless networks, the dominant and successful networks of today, defined a flexible approach of providing service to the nodes anywhere and anytime. Either autonomous or client machines are distributed spacially to perform its prescribed functions by the base station. The data collected from the environment, considered to be of sensitive importance, have to be ensured to reach the right end. When deciding a framework of the wireless networks, a number of conerns have to be concentrated. Traffic of the data packets, congestion control, and prevention from attacks of any kind, detection and tracing back of attackers will be the prioritized actions. Denial of Service attacks, an attempt to degrade the network's resources such as bandwidth and memory, target a single machine to prevent it from getting or sending the data to the base station. The paper introduces a novel approach to monitor, communicate and determine if there is any attack within the networks. The proposed protocol will be ensuring the confidentiality by enabling a three times check for the originality of data packets. When the system doubts a data packet, signatures are checked in three registers, one from the sender, intermediate and the destined node. Any packet without these signatures will be regarded as an attack packet. The advantage of this method is to counter a low profile DoS attacks, which has evolved into a new type of attack for minimal evidence of an attack.
