Abstract
Because of the widespread use of wireless sensor networks in many applications, and due to the nature of the specifications of these networks (WSN) in terms of wireless communication, the network contract specifications, and published it in difficult environments. All this leads to the network exposure to many types of external attacks. Therefore, the protection of these networks from external attacks is considered the one of the most important researches at this time. In this paper we investigated the security in wireless sensor networks, Limitations of WSN, Characteristic Values for some types of attacks, and have been providing protection mechanism capable of detecting and protecting wireless sensor networks from a wide range of attacks.
Highlights
The widespread use of wireless sensor networks, such as, temperature monitoring, light monitoring, and monitoring a battle field to detecting enemy's movement, monitoring the battle field..Etc. These networks consist of thousands of nodes-sensitive, where these nodes are deployed in open environments and non-protected, leading to the exposure of the network to the many dangers and external attacks
We proposed in this paper an autonomic mechanism to detect attacks in wireless sensor networks (WSN) by taking advantage of the effects that occur in the network when exposing to external attacks
Detection Mechanisms refer to the continuous monitoring of the network or system when they are in operational case, Detect attacks that violate the security policy, detect abnormal behavior, vandalism malignant, in addition to those mechanisms do defensive work against these attacks [10]
Summary
The widespread use of wireless sensor networks, such as, temperature monitoring, light monitoring, and monitoring a battle field to detecting enemy's movement, monitoring the battle field..Etc. There are several mechanisms, theories and algorithms presented in this domain, but did not achieve full protection of the network from these attacks and intrusions. That the security requirements for wireless sensor networks have certain privacy was due to mind these requirements when designing a security mechanism. We proposed in this paper an autonomic mechanism to detect attacks in wireless sensor networks (WSN) by taking advantage of the effects that occur in the network when exposing to external attacks. All attacks affect the network features that are: incoming packets, outgoing packets, neighbors, Sending Packet Interval, RTS Packet Arrival Rate, the strong of received signal, and collisions related to each node
