Effective Throughput Based Approaches in Avoiding Selective Jamming Attack by Achieving Privacy in Wireless Networks

In Jamming, all network secrets and protocol specifications can be known by intruders. However, we consider avoiding selective jamming using internal threat model. There are existing methods to prevent selective jamming namely Strong Hiding Commitment Schemes (SHCS) and Cryptographic Puzzle Hiding Schemes (CPHS). From these existing methods, it is observed that there was no guarantee of message privacy. In this paper, for ensuring privacy even after the transmission of packets to destination, we propose two methods namely Medial Node Method (MNM) and Embedding Future Key (EFK) Method. Finally, Performance evaluation is carried out with the existing methods with our proposed methods in terms of throughput and route discovery time. It is established from our experiments that proposed methods have better throughput and even better route discover time.
