An active detection of compromised nodes based on en-route trap in wireless sensor network
With the development and wide use of wireless sensor network, security arises as an essential issue since sensors with restrict resources are deployed in wild areas in an unattended manner. Most of current en-route filtering schemes could filter false data effectively; however, the compromised nodes...

| description | With the development and wide use of wireless sensor network, security arises as an essential issue since sensors with restrict resources are deployed in wild areas in an unattended manner. Most of current en-route filtering schemes could filter false data effectively; however, the compromised nodes could take use of the filtering scheme to launch Fictitious False data Dropping attack, the detection of this attack is extremely difficult since the previous hop node is unable to distinguish whether the forwarding node dropt a false data report with incorrect Message Authentication Codes or a legitimate report. This is the first attempt to address the Fictitious False data Dropping attack; in this article, we propose an Active Detection of compromised nodes based on En-route Trap to trap compromised nodes in the scenario of a false data dropping. A trust model is used to evaluate trust level of neighbor nodes with respect to their authentication behaviors. A detecting algorithm of compromised node is used to detect compromised nodes. Simulation results showed that our scheme can address the Fictitious False data Dropping attack and detect 60% of compromised nodes with a low false positive rate; consequently, the packet accuracy of an Active Detection of compromised nodes based on En-route Trap increases rapidly and reaches to 86%. |
