Cloud Acknowledgment Scheme for a Node Network

Abstract

Recently, wireless devices are rapidly added to existing networks. This growth is due to abrupt development in technology and change of lifestyle. Due to the distribution nature of these networks, it is essential to mention that there is a substantial increase in the number of attacks as the network is expanding. By virtue of such trend, we are interested in bringing back centralization of a network even in wireless networks to deal with such attacks. In this paper, we propose a scheme called Cloud ACKnowledgement Scheme (CACKS) to strengthen a wireless network by fetching cloud as a monitoring tool. To validate our proposed approach, we performed several experiments using OMNET++ 5.4.1. The outcome of these experiments shows that the proposed scheme strongly monitors and protects the network from attackers while supporting unrestricted mobility. (C) 2019 The Authors.
