Abstract

Sensor nodes set out in malicious surroundings and are susceptible to pickup and pact. An intruder may reach confidential hidden particulars from these sensors, clone and cleverly spread out them in the network to put up a variety of insider attacks. This attack mode is mostly defined as a clone attack. We propose a new layout for clone attack detection that comes up with successful and well-organized technique called PAWS (Pair Access Witness Selection) technique to detect such clone attacks. Selecting common nodes in between the pairmate as a witness node is the key idea of PAWS to detect clones in the network. The witness selection plays a vital role to overcome the redundancy and reachability problem. The proposed framework results in detecting clones and detection performance depends on the proper selection of witness nodes. Performance analysis and simulations also reveal that our new scheme is more proficient than extant schemes from communication cost and energy consumption.

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) deployed in the destructive atmosphere are susceptible to clone attacks. Clone attack in wireless sensor network is a complicated problem because it deployed in hostile environments, and also the nodes could be physically compromised by an adversary. For valuable clone attack detection, the selection criteria play an important role in the proposed work. In this paper, it has been classified the existing detection schemes regarding device type, detection methodologies, deployment strategies and detection ranges and far explore various proposals in deployment based selection criteria category. And also this paper provides a review of detection methodology based on various clone attack detection techniques. It is also widely agreed that clones should be detected quickly as possible with the best optional. Our work is exploratory in that the proposed algorithm concern with table assisted random walk with horizontal and vertical line, frequent level key change and revokes the duplicate node.Our simulation results show that it is more efficient than the detection criteria in terms of security feature, and in detection rate with high resiliency. Specifically, it concentrates on deployment strategy which includes grid based deployment technique. These all come under the selection criteria for better security performance. Our protocol analytically provides effective and clone attack detection capability of robustness.
