title = "Flooding attack in energy harvesting wireless sensor networks",
abstract = "One of the most critical damaging effects on most wireless sensor networks is a flooding attack. Flooding threat occurs not only from spoofed packets generators launched by intruders but also from the inherent behavior of the network protocols. Flooding harm can be categorized into two types as follows. First, a sensor cannot provide required services when it receives a lot of packets. An essential part of packets are rejected and packets delay becomes inadmissible. And second, if a sensor transmits many packets then the sensor battery is quickly exhausted. Energy harvesting technologies offers the potential of reducing the second vulnerability. This paper explores the operation of wireless sensor networks with energy harvesting capability taking into account both flooding negative effects above. We consider the feasibility and threats of the attacks and their impacts. We then propose a theoretical analysis of the flooding attacks. The corresponding mathematical model is offered. Counteracting methods against such intrusions is discussed.",
