Network Coding Based Security for Routing Attacks in WRN: Frechet Interference and Rayleigh Outage Evaluation

We present a network coding security method capable of detecting several routing attacks in wireless reconfigurablenetworks. Routing security attacks include selective forwarding, black holes, and wormholes. The proposed methodperforms linear network coding over intermediate nodes composing a given route, not only to distribute content, butalso to provide data confidentiality by cooperation as a mechanism of detection. The method presents a robust,accurate and fast response under security attacks for varying network conditions, such as interference and outagedue to channel fading. It also provides a gain in network throughput by increasing the number of successfully receivedpackets without a significant increase of the bandwidth usage
