Abstract
In this paper, we propose a detection scheme for sinkhole attacks in wireless sensor networks. Sinkhole attack makes packets that flow network pass through attacker. So, Sinkhole attack can be extended to various kind of attacks. We analyze sinkhole attack methods in the networks that use LQI based routing. For the purpose of response to each attack method, we propose methods to detect attacks. Our scheme can work for those sensor networks which use LQI based dynamic routing protocol. And we show the detection of sinkhole attack can be achieved by using a few detector nodes.
