A Resilient Strategy against Energy Attacks in Ad-Hoc WSN and Future IoT

The widespread growth of Ad-hoc sensor networks represents the next evolution of internet having the ability to gather, analyze, and distribute data that can turn data into information, knowledge, intelligent decision making and ultimately for future prediction. This latest state-of-the-art sensing, computing and communication system are not only changing consumer expectation in people’s everyday lives but gradually taking them closer to the future era of connected everyday things, using mixtures of wired and wireless connectivity. The communication of these network devices creates the Internet of Things (IoT), wherein Ad-Hoc Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are ready to dynamically be a part for accomplishing distinctive tasks. To attain this vision, there is a need for energy efficient systems to support the challenging requirements for future internet to survive. Ad hoc sensor networks are susceptible to attacks which will drain the battery life. IoT will be susceptible to same problems but at a larger level. This paper explores the energy issues and attacks that challenge that are faced by Ad-Hoc WSNs and eventually the future IoT. It also discusses a resilient strategic approach for handling energy attacks.
