Securing Mobile Devices from DoS Attacks

Abstract

Today mobile devices are increasingly being used to access data services in addition to the voice communications. However such devices have limited resources to enforce strong security measures and hence they are easily vulnerable to attacks. In this paper we propose techniques for securing mobile devices from denial of service attacks. We will make use of the IPSec protocol for secure traceback and preventing the attack upstream. Finally we present the implementation and performance analysis of our model.
