	abstract = {Selfish behavior at the MAC layer can have devastating side effects on the performance of wireless networks, similar to the effects of DoS attacks. In this paper, we focus on the prevention and detection of the manipulation of the backoff mechanism by selfish nodes in 802.11. We first propose an algorithm to ensure honest backoffs when at least one, either the receiver or the sender is honest. Then we discuss detection algorithms to deal with the problem of colluding selfish nodes. Although we have focused on the MAC layer of 802.11, our approach is general and can serve as a guideline for the design of any probabilistic distributed MAC protocol.},

	abstract = {Cross-layer protocol design is one of the prevailing methodologies that have recently been adopted in networking research and leads to significant performance benefits. In this study,we assess the performance of cross-layer interaction and investigate its effects with regard to security and information assurance of mobile ad hoc wireless networks. Using attacks in realistic wireless networks as a prototype, we find that natural cross-layer interactions between physical, MAC and network layer protocols in MANET can turn out to be a weak point, causing various attacks and intrusions. However, by allowing a controlled synergy between layers affected by attacks, we facilitate timely detection of such attacks that are otherwise difficult to detect and may have devastating effects on network functionality and operation.},

	abstract = {Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are difficult to prevent and protect against. In this paper we focus on DoS attacks in wireless ad hoc networks that propagate from MAC to routing layer, causing breaking of critical routes. We present several traffic patterns that an intelligent attacker can generate to cause Denial of Service attack in one or several nodes in ad hoc networks. More specifically, we focus on the properties of IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol and attack propagation to the routing layer. We focus on attacks that use low-rate traffic patterns with the goal of disabling one or more specific nodes or partitioning the network. We propose a scheme for attack detection based on modelling of MAC protocols using Extended Finite State Machines (EFSM) and present general outline for an Intrusion Detection System that has the ability to generate attack patterns and check the validity of communication patterns in the network.},
