Networks are always under the threat of attacks and one such kind of an attack happens to be pollution attack. Network coding is applied to improve the performance of network where the intermediate nodes encode data packet and then forwards it. Presence of malicious node creates injection of fake data packets into the network which along with the original packet gets encoded. This makes the network polluted which circulates within the network quickly and leads to wastage of network resource like bandwidth. Such a type of attack is known as pollution attack. To counter measure to this attack a tagging scheme is introduced which is known as Key Pre-distribution based Tag Encoding scheme (KEPTE) with an extended security.
