“…Jamming attack [37] takes advantages of the sensitivity of the wireless medium to interferences and results in a denial of service in the network. Attacker identifies the radio frequencies used by the targeted WSN and tries to disrupt or block communications by emitting signals (unnecessary information) in the same frequencies that inhibit communication (messages transmission and/or reception) between nodes.…”

This paper proposes a new classification model distinguishing four classes of attacks in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) namely: attacks based on the protocol stack, on the capability of the attacker, on the attack impacts and on the attack target. Then, it presents and classifies the most known attacks in WSNs based the proposed model. Simulations implemented under the NS3 simulator prove that the network lifetime can decrease by more than 45% in the presence of attacks. Afterwards, it discusses the main security methods and protocols of management and distribution of encryption keys used to ward off different types of attacks. Obtained results confirm that these security methods must be adapted to the specific characteristics of WSNs to achieve the intended objectives.

“…A survey of techniques against DDoS attacks in Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANETs) is presented in [6]. There are also surveys or tutorials related to the general wireless security, but they only consider one specific security issue, e.g., anti-jamming techniques [9], and physical layer security [10]. Recent surveys discuss the applications of game theory for the security in computer-communication networks [11], [12].…”

Abstract-This paper provides a comprehensive literature review on applications of economic and pricing theory to security issues in wireless networks. Unlike wireline networks, the broadcast nature and the highly dynamic change of network environments pose a number of nontrivial challenges to security design in wireless networks. While the security issues have not been completely solved by traditional or system-based solutions, economic and pricing models recently were employed as one efficient solution to discourage attackers and prevent attacks to be performed. In this paper, we review economic and pricing approaches proposed to address major security issues in wireless networks including eavesdropping attack, Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack such as jamming and Distributed DoS (DDoS), and illegitimate behaviors of malicious users. Additionally, we discuss integrating economic and pricing models with cryptography methods to reduce information privacy leakage as well as to guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of information in wireless networks. Finally, we highlight important challenges, open issues and future research directions of applying economic and pricing models to wireless security issues.

The fifth generation of wireless cellular networks (5G) is expected to be the infrastructure for emergency services, natural disasters rescue, public safety, and military communications. 5G, as any previous wireless cellular network, is vulnerable to jamming attacks, which create deliberate interference to hinder the communication of legitimate users. Therefore, jamming 5G networks can be a real threat to public safety. Thus, there is a strong need to investigate to what extent these networks are vulnerable to jamming attacks. For this investigation, we consider the 3GPP standard released in 2017, which is widely accepted as the primary reference for the deployment of these networks. First, we describe the key elements of 5G New Radio (NR) architecture, such as different channels and signals exchanged between the base station and user equipment. Second, we conduct an in-depth review of the jamming attack models and we assess the 5G NR vulnerabilities to these jamming attacks. Then, we present the state-of-the-art detection and mitigation techniques, and we discuss their suitability to defeat smart jammers in 5G wireless networks. Finally, we provide some recommendations and future research directions at the end of this paper.
