Abstract

With the advances in technology, there has been an increasing interest both from research and industrial communities in the use of Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs). These networks are vulnerable to a wide class of security attacks. In fact, UWSNs are particularly more susceptible to attacks than their ground-base counterparts due to the challenges imposed by their deployment environment. This paper proposes a distributed approach to detect and mitigate routing attacks in such networks. An analytical model is provided to capture the interactions between various contributing parameters. Our simulation experiments validate the correctness and efficiency of the proposed approach.
