Detecting Sinkhole Attack In Wireless Sensor Networks
N. Nalini · 2014
As we are aware of the different kinds of attacks for WSNs. In this paper we propose the lightweight robust technique called Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) for detecting Sinkhole attacks in the WSNs. We have built our own protocol and the RSSI techniques are applied to detect the sinkhole attack. The RSSI technique doesn’t cause communication overhead because it will not load the ordinary nodes since the presence of EM nodes. RSSI technique was earlier implemented using visual sense, In this paper we have implemented RSSI technique in NS2 simulator. The simulation results show the efficient detection of the Sinkhole attacks in WSNs.
