<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=396433]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[SMS messaging is one of the most common forms of communication. People send SMS messages everywhere - on the train, crossing the road, and even driving! While most SMS messages are sent on the go, a huge portion of them are sent when stationary - while people are at their desks, working. Though users are accustomed to composing messages using T9 inputs (or using a virtual keyboard, etc.), nothing beats using the keyboard one has for the computer. Therefore, one would ideally prefer to send SMS messages from the comfort of their own keyboard. This paper shows how to write applications to allow SMS messages to be sent from within the Windows computer.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Experimental Evaluation of Energy-Based Denial-of Service Attacks in Wireless Networks]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=390912]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Battery energy is frequently the most limiting resource on mobile devices. Energy-Based Denial-of-Service (e-Dos) attacks, in which malicious attackers initiate actions that can deplete the battery of a mobile node, have recently emerged. The feasibility of such attacks has been demonstrated at various layers of the network protocol stack and attention has been drawn to them. However, little work has been done to evaluate their effectiveness at different layers of a functional wireless network protocol stack or quantify the energy drain. This paper investigates the energy profile of e-DoS packet flood attacks at the MAC, network, transport, application and physical (by moving the mobile node) layers in a real 802.11 wireless testbed.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Framework for Defending Against Denial of Service Attacks in Wireless Networks]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=390138]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Wireless mobile nodes have extremely limited resources and are easily vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. The traditional techniques that can detect or prevent DoS attacks in wired networks often require considerable resources such as processing power, memory, and storage space. Hence, it is not possible to deploy the traditional techniques on the wireless nodes. This paper identifies the requirements and challenges that are to be addressed in order to efficiently deal with DoS attacks on wireless nodes. Then the paper considers a general architecture for different types of wireless networks and proposes a framework to counteract DoS attacks in the general architecture.]]></description>
