Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks are consists of number of tiny sensor nodes that are used in monitoring and the tracking systems for the purpose of sensing, communication and computational capabilities. Sensor networks are frequently deployed in an unattended manner, probably exposed to physical attacks and be totally compromised. When a sensor node is captured, it may expose any secret information to attackers. Thus, any security mechanism for sensor networks has to be elastic against node compromise attacks. In this paper we propose a novel technique to detect the node masquerade attack (clone attack) by using rssi values and centralized method. Simulation and performance analysis shows the effectiveness of our solution and also provides a high detection rate.
