Abstract

The work proposes a routing algorithm that detects congestion and hence DDoS attack using age, energy and reliability as parameters. Although researchers have proposed number of mechanisms for preventing congestion and attacks in WSN but very few of them have thought of deploying ants as intelligent entities. Moreover, the previous works had been focusing on using parameters like energy, hop and distance but none have used age and reliability of node as important parameters. This work uniquely contributes an ant-based routing algorithm that considers all of the above mentioned parameters. A case study that evaluates the proposed work is also being presented.
