A Heterogeneous Framework to Detect Intruder Attacks in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Wireless sensor network (WSN) has been broadly implemented in real world applications, such as monitoring of forest fire, military targets detection, medical and/or science areas and above all in our daily home life as well. Nevertheless, WSNs are effortlessly compromised by adversaries due to their broadcast transmission medium as a means of communication which are lacking in tamper resistance. Consequently, an intruder can over hear all traffic, replay previous messages, inject malicious data packets, or can compromise a node. Commonly, sensor nodes are very much vulnerable of two main issues in security aspect that are node authentication and compromising a node. In this paper, a heterogeneous framework of node capture and intrusion detection for WSNs is proposed. This framework efficiently detects the captured nodes by using a novel technique, embedded with an Intrusion Detection mechanism which aggregates Signature and Anomaly based approach with Neural Network Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) classification in a clustering environment. Moreover, the proposed framework achieves efficiency at reasonable computation and communication costs and it can be a security shield to real WSN applications.
