A Study of Epidemic Approach for Worm Propagation in Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are novel expansive-scale wireless network systems that comprise conveyed, self-sorting out, low-control, ease, small-sensor gadgets that help to gather data through framework-less wireless network system. Nowadays, propagation of worms is a major issue in wireless sensor network because a large number of attackers (virus) are present in the network by which the total network or communication will be affected. Sometimes network limitation and node boundaries are also responsible for lost information. For means of perfect propagation of worm, some data is required (about the node and network), that is, knowledge of local concept, power of node, as well as network, distribution concept, and timing. In this paper we try to represent the basic concept of different kinds of propagation model for propagation of worm using wireless sensor network. Here we study an epidemic approach for worm propagation in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to represent the concept of worm propagation in different applications or propagation from one node to another node or from one node to the entire network.
