DETECTING BLACKHOLE ATTACK IN WSN BY CHECK AGENT USING MULTIPLE BASE STATIONS
Nitesh Gondwal, Chander Diwaker · 2013
Due to the wireless nature and infrastructure-less environment of WSN, they are more vulnerable to many types of security attacks. This paper proposes a technique to detect the black-hole attack using multiple base-stations and a check agent based technology. This technique is Energy efficient, Fast, Lightweight and Reduces message complexity. An effective solution is proposed that uses multiple base stations to improve the delivery of the packets from the sensor nodes reaching at least one base station in the network, thus ensuring high packet delivery success. The proposed technique is more efficient than the previous techniques and gives better results. Check agent is a software program which is self-controlling and it moves from node to node and checks the presence of black-hole nodes in the network. Routing through multiple base stations algorithm is only activated when there is a chance of black-hole attack on the network.
