Cross Layer Denial of Service Attacks in Wireless Sensor Network Using Swarm Intelligence

Need for secure communication in wireless sensor network applications such as health monitoring system, building or infrastructure access systems, tsunami warning systems, etc. inspired this research. This paper is an extension to the smart building access system proposed. In this paper, a cross-layer security mechanism is proposed to detect denial of service (DoS) attacks and the countermeasures taken to avoid the same without comprising any network resources.
