Abstract
In ubiquitous sensor networks, sensor nodes can be compromised by an adversary since they are deployed in hostile environments. False sensing reports can be injected into the network through these compromised nodes, which may cause not only false alarms but also the depletion of limited energy resource in the network. In the security solutions for the filtering of false reports, the choice of a security threshold value which determines the security level is important. In the existing adaptive solutions, a newly determined threshold value is broadcasted to the whole nodes, so that extra energy resource may be consumed unnecessarily. In this paper, we propose an application of the recursive contract net protocol to determine the threshold value which can provide both energy efficiency and sufficient security level. To manage the network more efficiently, the network is hierarchically grouped, and the contract net protocol is applied to each group. Through the protocol, the threshold value determined by the base station using a fuzzy logic is applied only where the security attack occurs on.
