Abstract
Security evaluation for wireless sensor networks analyzes the security performance of network, helps to find vulnerabilities and shortages, and provides advices to take effective security technologies, which is an important way to improve the security of the network proactively. Considering that the evaluation is a complex process and involves many factors, this paper proposes a security evaluation method for the wireless sensor networks based on fuzzy comprehensive judgement. First, we establish an evaluation index system based on proactive attack, which reflects the security performance objectively and truly. Second, we determine the index weights adopting the analytic hierarchy process method, which can reduce the subjectivity of weights decision. Third, we adopt the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to evaluate the security performance qualitatively and quantitatively. Finally, this method is proved to be reasonable and effective in simulation experiments.
