Degree-Based Clustering Algorithms for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks Under Attack

Tselikis, C., Mitropoulos, S., Komninos, N. & Douligeris, C. (2012). Degree-Based Clustering Algorithms for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks Under Attack. IEEE Communications Letters, 16(5), pp. 619-621. doi: 10.1109/lcomm.2012.031912.112484

Abstract

In this paper we investigate the behavior of degree-based clustering algorithms with respect to their stability and attack-resistance. Our attack scenario tries to bias the clustering head selection procedure by sending faulty degree claims. We propose a randomized variant of the highest degree algorithm which is proved, through experimental results, attack-resistant without imposing significant overhead to the clustering performance. In addition, we extend our proposal with a cooperative consistent clustering algorithm which integrates security into the clustering decision achieving attacker identification and classification.
