IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing (TDSC) is a quarterly journal that publishes archival research results focusing on foundations, methodologies, and mechanisms that support the achievement—through design, modeling, and evaluation—of systems and networks that are dependable and secure to the desired degree without compromising performance.
Network survivability is the ability of a network to stay connected under failures and attacks, which is a fundamental issue to the design and performance evaluation of wireless ad hoc networks. In this paper, we focus on the analysis of network survivability in the presence of node misbehaviors and failures. First, we propose a novel semi-Markov process model to characterize the evolution of node behaviors. As an immediate application of the proposed model, we investigate the problem of node isolation where the effects of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks are considered...
