Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have become much more relevant in recent years, mainly because they can be used in a wide diversity of applications. Real-time locating systems (RTLSs) are one of the most promising applications ...

Security is one of the main aspects to take into account when designing and developing web services. A meaning number of mechanisms of attack can lead to a web service system crash. As a result, the web service cannot allow ...

SOAP messages use XML code, which makes them vulnerable to denial of service (DoS) attacks and puts the availability of web services at risk. This article presents an adaptive solution for dealing with DoS attacks in web ...

A SOAP message can be affected by a DoS attack if the incoming message has been either created or modified maliciously. The specifications of existing security standards do not focus on this type of attack. This article ...

One of the most serious security threats to recently deployed databases has been the SQL Injection attack. This paper presents an agent specialised in the detection of SQL injection attacks. The agent incorporates a ...

SQL injections consist in inserting keywords and special symbols in the parameters of SQL queries to gain illegitimate access to a database. They are usually identified by analyzing the input parameters and removing the ...

The purpose of this article is to present an adaptive and intelligent mechanism that can handle SQL injection attacks. This proposal focuses on integrating a case-based reasoning (CBR) mechanism with a neural network. The ...

This paper presents the core component of a solution based on agent technology specifically adapted for the classification of SOAP messages. The messages can carry out attacks that target the applications providing Web ...
