Security and Reliability Enhancement in Catching Packet Droppers and Modifiers in Wireless Sensor Networks

  Mrs.Sameeksha Chaudhary,  Mr. Mukesh Goyal

Dropping packets and modification are usual attacks that can be exposed by an opponent to interrupt the communication in wireless sensor networks. Sensor nodes are used here to monitor the environments, detect the event of interest, generate data and collaborate in forwarding the data towards a sink, which could be a gateway, base station, storage node, or querying utilize. Due to the fluent deployment, less cost of sensor node and the capability of self-organization, a sensor network is often deployed in an unattended and flightier environment to perform monitoring and data conduction tasks. When it is deployed in such an environment,it deficient the physical groin which subject to node compromise. An opponent may release assorted attacks and disrupt the network communication after compromising one or multiple sensor nodes. Due to these repetitive attacks, compromised nodes modify the packets that they are supposed to forward. A number of schemes have been proposed to diminish such attacks. Some of them can accomplished by identify the violator. To represent this state of uncertainty, Our proposed classification enables a systematical categorization of mechanisms and protocols to cope with attacks in WSNs. Since attacks can seriously disrupt the functionality of a WSN and nearly all WSNs are susceptible to insider attacks, appropriate security mechanisms and protocols are required. For a deeper understanding of the different aspects of insider attacks in WSNs, we first proposed a new scheme. Moreover ,we proposed several algorithm to protect against certain types of packet modifiers and a general approach to protect against all types of modifiers.
