LIP: A Lightweight Interlayer Protocol for Preventing Packet Injection Attacks in Mobile Ad Hoc Network

Overview Most ad hoc networks do not implement any network access control, leaving these networks vulnerable to packet injection attacks where a malicious node injects packets into the network with the goal of depleting the resources of the nodes relaying the packets. To prevent such attacks, it is necessary to employ authentication mechanisms that ensure that only authorised nodes can inject traffic into the network. This paper designs a Lightweight Inter-layer Protocol (LIP) for preventing packet injection attacks based on an efficient local broadcast authentication mechanism. In addition to preventing attacks by unauthorised nodes, LIP can also detect and minimise the impersonation attacks by compromised nodes.

Cisco tightens VoIP security

Like other packet-based applications, voice networks can suffer from denial-of-service attacks, which are caused when a hacker floods a network with packets until the switches and routers directing traffic throughout the network are frozen.

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

The packets that make up the audio stream may take different routes from node to node over the network in question but and are put back into order at the termination point to make up the audio that we recognise as conversation.
