Abstract

In this paper, we propose an adaptive filtering scheme of connection requests for the defense of malicious energy consumption attacks against wireless computing devices with limited energy budget. The energy consumption attack tries to consume the battery energy of a wireless device with repeated connection requests and shut down the wireless device by exhausting its energy budget. The proposed scheme blocks a connection request of the energy consumption attack in the middle, if the same connection request is repeated and its request result is failed continuously. In order to avoid the blocking of innocuous mistakes of normal users, the scheme gives another chance to allow connection request after a fixed blocking time. The scheme changes the blocking time adaptively by comparing the message arriving ate during non-blocking period and that during blocking period. Evaluation shows that the proposed defense scheme saves up to 94% energy consumption compared to the non-defense case.
