2020. Synergetic Denial-of-Service Attacks and Defense in Underwater Named Data Networking. IEEE INFOCOM 2020 - IEEE Conference on Computer Communications. :1569–1578.
Due to the harsh environment and energy limitation, maintaining efficient communication is crucial to the lifetime of Underwater Sensor Networks (UWSN). Named Data Networking (NDN), one of future network architectures, begins to be applied to UWSN. Although Underwater Named Data Networking (UNDN) performs well in data transmission, it still faces some security threats, such as the Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks caused by Interest Flooding Attacks (IFAs). In this paper, we present a new type of DoS attacks, named as Synergetic Denial-of-Service (SDoS). Attackers synergize with each other, taking turns to reply to malicious interests as late as possible. SDoS attacks will damage the Pending Interest Table, Content Store, and Forwarding Information Base in routers with high concealment. Simulation results demonstrate that the SDoS attacks quadruple the increased network traffic compared with normal IFAs and the existing IFA detection algorithm in UNDN is completely invalid to SDoS attacks. In addition, we analyze the infection problem in UNDN and propose a defense method Trident based on carefully designed adaptive threshold, burst traffic detection, and attacker identification. Experiment results illustrate that Trident can effectively detect and resist both SDoS attacks and normal IFAs. Meanwhile, Trident can robustly undertake burst traffic and congestion.

2016. Harmonic Potential Field Based Routing Protocol for 3D Underwater Sensor Networks. Proceedings of the 11th ACM International Conference on Underwater Networks & Systems. :38:1–38:2.
The local minima has been deemed as a challenging issue when designing routing protocols for 3D underwater sensor networks. Recently, harmonic potential field method has been used to tackle the issue of local minima which was also a major bottleneck in path planning and obstacle avoidance of robotics community. Inspired by this, this paper proposes a harmonic potential field based routing protocol for 3D underwater sensor networks with local minima. More specifically, the harmonic potential field is calculated using harmonic functions and Dirichlet boundary conditions are used for the local minima, sink(or seabuoy) and sending node. Numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed routing protocol.
