Survey on Orthogonal Dimensions of Sybil Attack in Wireless Sensor Network
نویسنده
چکیده
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) continue to grow and become widely used in many applications in military, ecological, home automation and health-related areas. Due to distributed nature of sensor networks security becomes fundamental requirement for communication among sensor nodes. The inclusion of wireless communication among various sensor nodes suffers from various types of security threats. The intent of this paper is to analyze the Sybil attack for wireless sensor networks (WSN). To sense the inflection of the Sybil attack, analyze three orthogonal dimensions: direct v/s indirect communication, fabricated v/s stolen identities, and simultaneous and non-simultaneous and corresponding defense mechanisms for wireless sensor networks.

Random Key Pre-Distribution Techniques against Sybil Attacks
Sybil attacks pose a serious threat for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) security. They can create problems in routing, voting schemes, decision making, distributed storage and sensor re-programming. In a Sybil attack, the attacker masquerades as multiple sensor identities that are actually controlled by one or a few existing attacker nodes. Sybil identities are fabricated out of stolen keys, obt...

متن کاملSybil Attack in Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey
The wireless sensor networks are prone to various attacks; this is primarily due to the fact that these networks once deployed are left unattended. So any attacker with the intention of stealing the information from the network can compromise any node and gain access to the data being propagated in the network. Various attacks possible are black hole attack, wormhole attack, Sybil attack, clone...
