    Abstract :

    Network coding is vulnerable to pollution attacks when malicious nodes injects some bogus data blocks or modifies the contents of the packets. When these data streams are combined with other legal blocks of the network at downstream nodes, it makes decoding of the original blocks cumbersome and ultimately degrades the network performance. In wiretapping, some adversary can wiretap the communication channels and attains the control of information for viewing purposes, while in byzantine attack the attackers can also modify the coded packets along with the information viewing. To address this issue, a novel approach to limit pollution attack by selecting the optimal network path for packet transmission is specified in this work. This scheme rapidly identifies the malicious node of the network and marks it inaccessible, so that the system can quickly recover from pollution attack and can disseminate data to the downstream nodes more efficiently.
