Abstract

Security and Privacy are two important parameters that need to be considered when dealing with Wireless Sensor Networks as WSN operate in an unattended environment and carry sensitive information critical to the application. However, applying security techniques that consume minimum resources is still a challenge and this paper makes an attempt to address the same. One of the major attacks in sensor network is Denial of Service(DoS) attack that not only diminishes the network capacity but also affects the reliability of information being transmitted. Distributed Denial of Service attack is a coordinated attack, generally performed on a massive scale on the availability of services of a target system or network resources. Due to the continuous evolution of new attacks and ever-increasing number of vulnerable hosts on the Internet, many DDoS attack detection or prevention mechanisms have been proposed. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey of DDoS attacks, detection techniques.
