Game theory model for selective forward attacks in wireless sensor networks
Yenumula B. Reddy, Sandeep Srivathsan · 2009
The problem of detecting malicious nodes in wireless sensor networks is considered. Since current security mechanisms are inadequate for wireless sensor networks, we must develop a new framework to detect malicious nodes using Zero-Sum game approach and selective node acknowledgements in the forward data path. The first few sections of the paper provide a game model with probability of cost required to defend the nodes and the subsequent sections derives the model to detect malicious nodes using the probability of acknowledgment at source.
