 SECURE SYNCHRONIZATION OF PERIODIC UPDATES

IN AD HOC NETWORKS

ABSTRACT

We present techniques for synchronizing nodes that periodically

broadcast content and presence updates to co located nodes over an ad

hoc network, where nodes may exhibit Byzantine malicious behavior.

Instead of aligning duty cycles, our algorithms synchronize the periodic

transmissions of nodes. This allows nodes to save battery power by

switching off their network cards without missing updates from their

neighbors. We propose several novel attack classes and show that they

are able to disrupt synchronization even when launched by a single

attacker. Finally, we devise a rating based algorithm (RBA) that rates

neighbors based on the consistency of their behavior. By favoring well-

behaved nodes in the synchronization process, we show that RBA quickly

stabilizes the synchronization process and reduces the number of lost

updates by 85 percent. Our evaluation also shows that all our algorithms

are computationally efficient and, for the setup considered, extend the

device lifetime by 30 percent over an always-on Wi-Fi scenario.
