A New Neural Network-Based Intrusion Detection System for Detecting Malicious Nodes in WSNs

Abstract

The Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are vulnerable to numerous security hazards that could affect the entire network performance, which could lead to catastrophic problems such as a denial of service attacks (DoS). The WSNs cannot protect these types of attacks by key management protocols, authentication protocols, and protected routing. A solution to this issue is the intrusion detection system (IDS). It evaluates the network with adequate data obtained and detects the sensor node(s) abnormal behavior. For this work, it is proposed to use the intrusion detection system (IDS), which recognizes automated attacks by WSNs. This IDS uses an improved LEACH protocol cluster-based architecture designed to reduce the energy consumption of the sensor nodes. In combination with the Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network, which includes the Feed Forward Neutral Network (FFNN) and the Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN), IDS is based on fuzzy rule-set anomaly and abuse detection based learning methods based on the fugitive logic sensor to monitor hello, wormhole and SYBIL attacks.
