Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are vulnerable to external intrusions due to the wireless communication characteristics and limited hardware resources. Thus, the attacker can cause sinkhole attack while intruding the network. INSENS is proposed for preventing the sinkhole attack. INSENS uses the three symmetric keys in order to prevent such sinkhole attacks. However, the sinkhole attack occurs again, even in the presence of INSENS, through the compromised node because INSENS does not consider the node being compromised. In this paper, we propose a method to counter the sinkhole attack by considering the compromised node, based on the neighboring nodes' information. The goals of the proposed method are i) network reliability improvement and ii) energy conservation through effective prevention of the sinkhole attack by detecting compromised nodes. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can save up to, on average, 19.90% of energy while increasing up to, on average, 71.50%, the report reliability against internal sinkhole attacks in comparison to INSENS.

무선 센서 네트워크는 제약적인 하드웨어 자원과 무선 통신의 특징으로 인해 외부 침입에 취약하다. 따라서 공격자는 네트워크에 침입하여 싱크홀 공격을 시도할 수 있다. 이러한 싱크홀 공격을 방지하기 위해서 INSENS가 제안되었다. INSENS는 세 개의 대칭키를 사용하여 싱크홀 공격을 방지한다. 하지만 INSENS는 노드의 훼손을 고려하지 않기 때문에 훼손된 노드를 통해 싱크홀 공격이 다시 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 훼손된 노드를 통해 발생하는 싱크홀 공격을 이웃 노드들의 상태 정보를 사용하여 방지하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 i) 공격을 안전하게 방지하여 네트워크의 신뢰성을 향상하고, ii) 에너지 소비 절감을 목표로 한다. 실험 결과 제안기법은 보고서의 신뢰성을 평균 71.50% 향상하고 에너지 소비를 평균 19.90% 절감한다.
