Amol R. Dhakne, Prashant N. Chatur · Communications in computer and information science · 2016
Wireless sensor network is of prime importance because of its applicability in various domains ranging from healthcare applications to military applications. Security of such networks is important as these carry confidential information. Security of Wireless Sensor Network is divided in three phases, prevention, detection and mitigation. In Prevention phase, care is taken so that attack should not occur. But most of the times it is not possible to prevent attacks, so it is very important to detect them as early as possible so that these will not harm a lot to wireless sensor network and that phase is called as intrusion detection. Once Intrusion has been detected we have to take actions to cure from it and it is called as mitigation. So, Intrusion detection is most important phase as far as security of wireless sensor network is concerned. This paper discusses about various detection methodologies such as Anomaly based, Misuse based and Specification based IDS, various decision making schemes for intrusion. Major focus of this paper is to understand various Intrusion Detection Systems that are proposed for wireless sensor network. These are discussed with different issues with advantages and disadvantages. Finally paper gives future directions for selection of Intrusion Detection System.
