Routing Attack Discovery in WSN

Abstract

Sensor devices are small devices used to capture information from environment. Capture, store and transmission are the main operations of sensor devices. Temperature, humidity, density of carbon dioxide and pressure details are captured by sensor devices. Battery power is the main limitation of sensor devices. The intrusion detection system identifies the legitimate and attackers in the network area. The intrusion detection system is designed in two categories. In the first model a system component is used for monitoring the security of a WSN and diagnosing compromised/vulnerable. Second model is the monitoring or surveillance system for detecting a malicious intruder that invades the network domain. Denial of communication is raised at the routing or medium access control levels. Resource depletion attacks are initiated at the routing protocol layer to permanently disable networks by consuming the battery power. Vampire attacks disrupt the network resources at the routing protocol levels. Stateful (Link state and distance vector) protocols and stateless (Dynamic Source Routing) protocols are verified with attacks. Clean-slate secure sensor network routing protocol is modified to control vampire attacks with resource usage analysis. Clean-slate secure sensor network routing protocol is improved with optimal boundary estimation model. Topology estimation and packet forwarding prediction is integrated. Transmission coverage factors are integrated with the detection scheme. Energy levels and forwarding packet count information are analyzed to improve the network lifetime.
