"Pollution"

Network coding allows intermediate nodes to encode data packets to improve network throughput and robustness. However, it increases the propagation speed of polluted data packets if a malicious node injects fake data packets into the network, which …

Epidemic attack is a severe security problem in network-coding-enabled wireless mesh networks (WMNs). Malicious nodes can easily launch such form of attack to create an epidemic spreading of polluted packets and deplete network resources. The …
