Abstract:- Wireless networks are more vulnerable to interference attacks as they are open in nature. These attacks are also known as Denial-of-Service attacks that cause some sort of jamming in the network. Jamming problem has been around in wirelessnetworks. Many existing solutions to prevent jamming attacks employed external threat model. However, there is possibility of internal attacks. Adversaries with good knowledge of network details including protocol specifications and other secret can make jamming attacks that are not easy to handle. Such attacks are named as selective jamming attacks as they are active for very short span of time that focus on messages with highest significance. Recently Proan˜o and Lazos proposed an internal threat model to handle selective jamming attacks. They also provided three schemes for preventing selective jamming attacks. In this built a prototype application in Java platform to implement the schemes for preventing selective jamming attacks. Experimental results revealed that the prototype can be used in real world wireless networks.
