MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641061448 A) filed by Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Mysuru, Karnataka, on May 14, for 'distributed denial of service mitigation system for underwater wireless sensor networks.'
Inventor(s) include Rao, Santhosh Kumar Belamkar Jayarama; Mukhopadhyay, Adwitiya; Chandana, Gopal; and Suresh, Karthik.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure provides a system (100) and method (300) for mitigating Distributed Denial of Service attacks in an underwater wireless sensor network, addressing the vulnerability of acoustic channel communication to flooding attacks, low-rate attacks, and multi-phase coordinated attacks that exhaust limited bandwidth and drain sensor node (104) resources. The system (100) includes a surface buoy gateway node (110) performing suspicion score computation (112), a cloud analytics engine (118) performing temporal correlation against traffic baselines stored in a persistent storage (126), a Virtual Network Function (120) maintaining a blocklist and redirecting attack traffic to a honeypot server (122), and a Network Function Virtualization orchestrator (124) instantiating a replacement Virtual Network Function (210) upon absence of heartbeat signals. Unlike conventional intrusion detection systems, the disclosed system (100) achieves continuous security functionality with automated recovery tailored to acoustic and energy constraints of underwater wireless sensor networks."
