Potential intrusions in wireless networks

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

In this paper, a novel type of potential attacks on wireless networks is considered. The means of intruder is unauthorized high power of a signal transmitted by wireless devices. A destructive effect of the attack depends on the type of network. In case of cellular networks an attacked mobile phone generates excessive electromagnetic emissions for a long period of time. Thus, objects of attack are mobile phone owners. In case of wireless sensor networks an illegal increase in the transmitting power exhausts a sensor battery. Thus, the lifetime of a sensor is depredated. Counteracting against such intrusions is discussed.
