Sensor nodes deployed in hostile environments are vulnerable to capture and compromise. Due to the inexpensive hardware components, an attacker can easily obtain cryptographic information from these sensors, clone them and surreptitiously insert these clones back in the network. Cloning provides the adversary an easy way to build an army of malicious nodes that can cripple the sensor network. Therefore, the detection of cloned nodes is a fundamental problem of sensor network. However, sensor nodes are usually resource-constrained, which make security applications a challenging problem. At present, there are only a few clone detection protocols which are truly distributed and random in nature. In this paper, we review these protocols with their performances.
