Secured Clone Detection using Witness Head Selection to Avoid Malicious Nodes in WSN

摘要

An energy-efficient location-aware clone attack detection protocol is determined and generally deployed Wireless Sensor Networks, which can certify great clone attack detection. The ring structure helps energy-efficient data information, forwarding along the path towards the witness nodes and the sink node. The localization information of each sensor node forward its private information to randomly selected witness nodes which are present in a ring structure area to verify the legitimacy of sensor nodes and to report detected clone attacks. The RSA algorithm is used to secure data packets are transmit from source node to sink node by powerful clone attack, which can be eliminated by the malicious nodes. The proposed protocol can achieve high clone detection probability using randomly selected trustful witnesses and with larger network lifetime, by effectively distributing the traffic load across the network.
