Abstract
In this paper, we proposed an efficient rule-based intrusion detection system for identifying sinkhole attacks in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The sensor nodes in network are deployed in various hostile environments. The nature of WSNs is wireless and hence, security is the major challenging issue. Sinkhole attack is the major common internal attack on WSNs. These attacks are performed by creating a malicious node with the highest transmission range to the base station. Then this node broadcast sends fake routing message to all its neighbor nodes. We considered popular link quality-based multi-hop routing protocol named as Mint-Route protocol. To identify sinkhole attack, we have implemented an IDS system which consists of suitable rules. These rules will allow the IDS to detect the malicious node successfully. We demonstrated this method in random dissemination of sensor nodes in WSNs. We experimented to confirm the accuracy of our anticipated method.
