무선 센서 네트워크의 다양한 응용분야에서, 일어나는 심각한 보안 위협 중 하나가 공격자가의 노드 훼손을 통해 발생하는 보안정보 훼손된 및 위조된 보고서의 삽입이다. 최근에 Fan Ye 등은 이런 위협에 대한 대안으로 전역 키 풀을 전체 센서네트워크에 나누어서 할당하고, 전송 경로 중에 있는 노드들이 미리 할당받은 각자의 보안정보인 인증키를 이용해서 위조 보고서를 판단하는 통계적 여과기법을 제안하였다. 그러나 이 기법에서는 노드들의 훼손으로 인한 일부 인증키가 훼손 됐을 시 고정된 몇 개의 구획으로 나뉜 전역 키 풀 때문에 훼손된 키의 구획에 속해 있는 나머지 훼손되지 않은 인증 키들이 여과과정에서 인증키로써의 기능을 할 수 없게 된다. 본 논문에서는 전역 키 풀의 분할 여부 결정에 퍼지 로직을 적용하여 전역 키 풀을 네트워크 상황에 맞추어 나누는 적응형 분할 결정 기법을 제안한다. 전역 키 풀의 구획은 오염된 구획의 비율. 오염된 키의 비율, 노드의 에너지 비율을 고려하여 퍼지로직에 의해 분할 여부를 결정한다.

무선통신을 기반으로 하는 WSN은 통신의 특성상 네트워크보안에 취약점을 가진다. 무선통신의 취약점은 누구나 네트워크에 접근이 가능하다는 것이다. 이에 따라 침입에 강인한 무선 센서 네트워크인 INtrusion-tolerant routing protocol for wireless SEnsor NetworkS(INSENS)가 제안됨으로써 WSN의 초기 라우팅 설정 시 침입하는 공격자를 사전에 차단할 수 있게 되었다. 그러나 라우팅 설정 후에 노드가 공격자에 의해 훼손당하게 된다면, 노드의 주요정보를 이용해 공격자는 또다시 라우팅 공격이 가능해진다. 본 논문에서는 공격자에 의해 훼손된 노드가 라우팅 공격 중 대표적인 공격인 싱크홀 공격 메시지를 방송하였을 때, 페어와이즈 키를 통해 효과적으로 공격메시지를 차단하는 양방향인증기법을 제안한다. 이로써 INSENS에서 발생하는 싱크홀 공격을 차단함으로써 WSN의 보안 강화에 기여한다.

In many sensor network applications, sensor nodes are deployed in open environments, and hence are vulnerable to physical attacks, potentially compromising the node's cryptographic keys. False sensing report can be injected through compromised nodes, which can lead to not only false alarms but also the depletion of limited energy resource in battery powered networks. Fan Ye et al. proposed that statistical en-route filtering scheme(SEF) can do verify the false report during the forwarding process. In this scheme, the choice of a partition value represents a trade off between resilience and energy where the partition value is the total number of partitions which global key pool is divided. If every partition are compromised by an adversary, SEF disables the filtering capability. Also, when an adversary has compromised a very small portion of keys in every partition, the remaining uncompromised keys which take a large portion of the total cannot be used to filter false reports. We propose a fuzzy-based adaptive partitioning method in which a global key pool is adaptively divided into multiple partitions by a fuzzy rule-based system. The fuzzy logic determines a partition value by considering the number of compromised partitions, the energy and density of all nodes. The fuzzy based partition value can conserve energy, while it provides sufficient resilience.

Sensor nodes are easily compromised by attacker when which are divided in open environment. The attacker may inject false report and false vote attack through compromised sensor node. These attacks interrupt to transmission legitimate report or the energy of sensor node is exhausted. PVFS are proposed by Li and Wu for countermeasure in two attacks. The scheme use inefficiency to energy of sensor node as fixed report threshold and verification node. In this paper, our propose the next neighbor node selection scheme based on fuzzy logic system for energy improvement of PVFS. The parameter of fuzzy logic system are energy, hops, verification success count, CH select high the next neighbor node among neighbor nodes of two as deduction based on fuzzy logic system. In the experimental, our proposed scheme was improvement to energy of about 9% compare to PVFS.

Wireless sensor networks are comprised of sensor nodes with resource-constrained hardware. Nodes in the sensor network without adequate protection may be compromised by adversaries. Such compromised nodes are vulnerable to the attacks like false reports injection attacks and false data injection attacks on legitimate reports. In false report injection attacks, an adversary injects false report into the network with the goal of deceiving the sink or the depletion of the finite amount of energy in a battery powered network. In false data injection attacks on legitimate reports, the attacker may inject a false data for every legitimate report. To address such attacks, the probabilistic voting-based filtering scheme (PVFS) has been proposed by Li and Wu. However, each cluster head in PVFS needs additional transmission device. Therefore, this paper proposes a fuzzy logic-based false report detection method (FRD) to mitigate the threat of these attacks. FRD employs the statistical en-route filtering scheme as a basis and improves upon it. We demonstrate that FRD is efficient with respect to the security it provides, and allows a tradeoff between security and energy consumption, as shown in the simulation.

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.

In wireless sensor networks, an adversary can launch the wormhole attacks, where a malicious node captures packets at one location and tunnels them to a colluding node, which retransmits them locally. The wormhole attacks are very dangerous against routing protocols since she might launch these attacks during neighbor discovery phase. A strategic placement of a wormhole can result in a significant breakdown in communication across the network. This paper presents a compromise-resilient tunneled packet filtering method for sensor networks. The proposed method can detect a tunneled message with hop count alteration by a comparison between the hop count of the message and one of the encrypted hop counts attached in the message. Since the proposed method limits the amount of security information assigned to each node, the impact of wormhole attacks using compromised nodes can be reduced.

무선 센서 네트워크는 개방된 환경에 단거리 무선 통신으로 정보를 수집하는 센서 노드와 이를 수집하는 베이스 스테이션으로 운영된다. 이러한 센서 네트워크의 특징으로 인해 공격자를 통해 쉽게 훼손될 수 있으며 대표적인 공격방법으로 싱크홀 공격이 있다. LEAP은 싱크홀 공격에 대응하기 위해 네 종류의 키를 사용하여 노드 간 인증을 하도록 제안되었다. 이 기법은 보안성을 유지하기 위해 주기적으로 베이스 스테이션까지의 경로를 갱신한다. 본 논문에서는, 내부 싱크홀 공격을 LEAP과 같은 키의 인증을 통하여 탐지하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 이전 노드, 다음 노드와의 키 인증을 통해 공격을 탐지한다. 공격이 탐지되면 해당 노드를 네트워크에서 제외하고 경로를 갱신하며 갱신된 경로를 통해 새로운 키를 배포한다. 그러므로 제안 기법은 이전 노드, 다음 노드와의 키 인증을 통해 싱크홀 공격을 탐지함으로써 전체 네트워크 보안성 향상을 목적으로 한다.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 센서 노드의 취약점으로 인해 공격자는 쉽게 훼손된 노드를 만들어 센서 네트워크를 공격한다. DoS 공격에 해당하는 플로딩 공격은 노드의 에너지 손실과 경로 상의 노드의 에너지를 전부 소비시켜 네트워크 수명이 단축된다. 본 논문에서 제안 기법은 노드의 에너지가 적은 지역에서 다중경로 라우팅을 적용해 각 노드의 부하를 줄이고 네트워크 수명을 증가시키는 보안기법을 제안한다.

When sensor networks are deployed in open environments, all the sensor nodes are vulnerable to physical threat. An attacker can physically capture a sensor node and obtain the security information including the keys used for data authentication. An attacker can easily inject false reports into the sensor network through the compromised node. False report can lead to not only false alarms but also the depletion of limited energy resource in battery powered sensor networks. To overcome this threat, Fan Ye et al. proposed that statistical on-route filtering scheme(SEF) can do verify the false report during the forwarding process. In this scheme, the choice of a security threshold value is important since it trades off detection power and energy, where security threshold value is the number of message authentication code for verification of false report. In this paper, we propose a fuzzy rule-based system for security threshold determination that can conserve energy, while it provides sufficient detection power in the SEF based sensor networks. The fuzzy logic determines a security threshold by considering the probability of a node having non-compromised keys, the number of compromised partitions, and the remaining energy of nodes. The fuzzy based threshold value can conserve energy, while it provides sufficient detection power.
