Simulation-Based Analysis of Worm Propagation in Wireless Sensor Networks

摘要

We study the worm propagation dynamics in wireless sensor networks (WSN) with four different node deployment patterns, and propose a select immune mechanism which function by propagating anti-worm packets in WSN to curb the spreading of worms. By simulating worm propagation in WSN with and without immune mechanism, and analyzing the effects of different factors, we verify the cluster or group structure would accelerate worm propagation and the immune mechanism would curb the spreading of worm efficiently.
