Evaluating and Detecting Internal Attacks in a Mobile Robotic Network

Abstract

In this paper we consider the problem of the need for deep traffic analysis to detect attacks on a network of mobile robots, as well as to assess their effectiveness. The object of the study is a group of mobile robots. It provide a means to analyze the security of mobile robot networks. It analyzes the anomalous activity of robots in a mobile network, based on analysis of traffic at the network and transport layers. To carry out such an analysis, a mathematical approach based on mathematical statistics and probability theory is used. It allows detecting attacks distributed denial of service and Sibyl attack. In addition, this technique allows us to determine what metrics are affected by this or that attack. In addition, it is possible to assess under what conditions the attack has the greatest impact on the network. In this paper, an experimental study was carried out and statistical data collected, the analysis of which allowed us to confirm theoretical assumptions.
