Cybersecurity challenges pose a significant threat to Healthcare Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) because they heavily rely on wireless communication. Particularly, jamming attacks can severely disrupt the integrity of these CPS networks. This research introduces a decentralized system to address this issue. Therefore, this paper suggested a system that leverages trust and blockchain technology to detect jamming attacks in healthcare CPS effectively. It proposes a layered model to improve CPS networks' lifetime and performance. In smart healthcare environments, it ensures secure and reliable communication between sensor nodes, wearable sensors, medical devices, and monitoring systems. Results show that the suggested approach outperforms the baseline model in identifying and minimizing jamming assaults, with an average percentage difference of 15.71% more detection rate, 20.21% less packet loss rates, 16.65% less node-level energy consumption, reduced network latency of 8.29%, and 9.63% more network throughput.

“…The result showed that during mitigation, PDR was 0% and during mitigation, it varies between 60% and 70%. A k-tuple Full Withholding (KTFW) algorithm was proposed for CSMA/CA in [18] to increase the resilience of MAC against jamming attacks. The algorithm is meant for an environment where nodes are not allowed to add extra information to the packet and the nodes are listening for feedback on the channel continuously.…”

Mobile wireless networks enable the connection of devices to a network with minimal or no infrastructure. This comes with the advantages of ease and cost-effectiveness, thus largely popularizing the network. Notwithstanding these merits, the open physical media, infrastructural-less attributes, and pervasive deployment of wireless networks make the channel of communication (media access) vulnerable to attacks such as traffic analysis, monitoring, and jamming. This study designed a virtual local area network (VLAN) model to circumvent virtual jamming attacks and other intrusions at the Media Access Control (MAC) layer of the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol. A Torpor VLAN (TVLAN) Data Frame Encapsulation and the algorithm for T-VLAN security in CSMA/CA were formulated and presented. A simulation experiment was conducted on the model using OMNeT++ software. The performance metrics used to evaluate the model were packet delivery ratio, network throughput, end-to-end channel delay, and channel load. The simulation results show that the TVLAN defence mechanism did not increase the channel load arbitrarily during TVLAN defence. similarly, the system throughput was shown to be 82% during TVLAN defence. Nevertheless, the network delay of the system during TVLAN defence was significantly high but the channel load was 297 when the TVLAN security mechanism was launched. These results demonstrate the model’s ability to provide a survivability mechanism for critical systems when under attack and add a security layer to the CSMA/CA protocol in wireless networks. Such a remarkable performance is required of a CSMA/CA infrastructure for improving the cybersecurity posture of a wireless network.

“…Additionally, a number of defenses have been put out to counteract jamming attempts, including the use of jamming-resistant protocols and the incorporation of anti-jamming algorithms into wireless devices. A jammer attack module is suggested by Bout et al [8] utilizing Network Simulator-3 (NS-3). This platform create an intelligent channel hopping mechanism and a jamming attack based on prior efforts to show its scalability.…”

Wireless networks are susceptible to many security problems since the wireless medium is open. Jammer (jamming attack) is the most important problems in wireless networks. It is denial-of-service attack in which attackers send malicious signals or messages on a channel that is intended for normal traffic by intentionally interfering with the network. One of the solutions is the development of tunneling technology as an attempt to secure communication networks. Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunneling technology when integrated with firewall would provide a suitable security. In this study, number of Jammers would interfere with the normal operation of the network resulting in performance degradation of network. These Jammers decrease throughput and increase delay and data dropped. The aim of this study is to improve the performance of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) by integrating Firewall with VPN in number of different Riverbed Modeler simulation scenarios which it is utilized in this study for video and data applications. Firewall is a technology employed to regulate the level of network connectivity. It can block unauthorized access from an external network to an internal network’s resources. In this study, the tunneling technology of VPN was integrated with firewall to improve the performance by increasing the throughput and decreasing delay and data dropped. The firewall would block any access to the server from the workstations and the VPN would filter the packets to allow a specific access to the specific server. The results showed that VPN when integrated with firewall increased the throughput from 1,350,000 to 1,500,000 bits/sec and decreased the delay from 0.0054 sec to 0.0047 sec and data dropped from 7,800 to 5,000 bits/sec so that this study proved that VPN incorporated with firewall provides a good throughput and delay improvement for wireless local area network.
