Abstract

This paper presents a study on the performance of intrusion-tolerant protocols in wireless LANs. The protocols are evaluated in several different environmental settings, and also within the context of a car platooning application for distributed cruise control. The experimental evaluation reveals how performance is affected by the various environmental parameters such as the wireless standard, group size, and network topology. The distributed cruise control application demonstrates the practicability of such protocols, even when subjected to malicious faults.
