The availability problemThe availability problem

Problem: how to avoid that some nodes misbehave

to find out a mechanism to detect and isolate misbehaving nodes

Cooperation misbehavior• Malicious misbehavior: intentional DoS attack• Selfishness: no routing/forwarding to save resources

Current approachesCurrent approaches

Watchdog + Reputation system Watchdog weaknesses: a node might not detect a

misbehaving node in presence of

– collisions

– no homogeneous transmission ranges Drawbacks of cooperation in security mechanisms

– overhead (additional traffic)

– wrong accusations spreading

A different approach?A different approach?

New challenges– Detection of misbehaving nodes without watchdog

– No spreading of false information
