Tackling Jamming Attacks in IoT

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

Internet-of-things has brought in solutions for many problems. These devices work on sensor technology. They aim in sensing and making suitable adjustments in environment to improve the environment. These unsupervised devices are liable to different kinds of attacks. The proposed paper provides solution for reactive jamming attack. The previous contribution aims at using artificial noise to distract the adversary and accomplishes the transmission task. The proposed work tries to bring in the jammer in confidence by using the cooperation of all the devices in the network. Comparing with the previous work the proposed work conserves 7.89% of energy, increases the confidence of jammer by5.66% and increases communication overhead by 7.46%.
