Certain investigations on malicious Node detection schemes for network Layer attacks in wireless sensor Networks

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network WSN is an emerging technology that newlinecan be applied for various futuristic applications like commercial and newlinemilitary The WSN nodes are tiny nodes which are used to sense the newlineenvironmental surroundings like temperature humidity etc It has a tiny newlineoperating system that is capable of processing the data and routing the newlinepackets The features of nodes make it more lucrative and provide wide newlineopportunity to develop plenty of applications in future Due to wireless newlinecommunication various types of security threats such as availability newlineconfidentiality integrity and authenticity are incurred while routing the newlinepackets in the network In order to protect the network from routing attacks newlinemalicious node detection schemes have been proposed in this study newlineSecurity issues play a vital role in protecting the network from the newlinemalicious nodes The detection schemes for malicious nodes must be smart newlineenough to find out the root cause of the attack The primary objective of this newlinestudy is to provide malicious node detection schemes for WSN Hence newlinenetwork layer attacks and its counter measures are addressed to a limited newlineextent Software and hardware detection schemes have been proposed and newlinesimulated newline newline
