Sybil Nodes as a Mitigation Strategy Against Sybil Attack
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sybil attack is considered one of the most damaged attack that menace structured p2p overlay networks. It’s the most sophisticated node active, used for a variety of illicit activities. A key requirement for these activities is the ability of such malicious user to generate a huge number of node identifiers and possibly choose some of them in order to disrupt availability and integrity in such systems. This paper highlights the problem of Sybil attack and presents a Sybil tracking process to deal with such problem. © 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

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 کاملLocation Verification Based Defense Against Sybil Attack in Sensor Networks
Security is a major concern for a large fraction of sensor network applications. Douceur first introduced the notion of sybil attack [4], where a single entity(node) illegitimately presents multiple identities. As the nodes in sensor networks can be physically captured by an adversary, sybil attack can manifest in a severe form leading to the malfunction of basic operational protocols including...

MANET is a kind of wireless network which is decentralized in nature and comprise of moving mobile nodes. Due to changing topology of such network it impose critical security protocol design against harmful attacks such as Sybil Attack. In a Sybil attack a malicious node can produce and manage a large number of logical identities on a single physical device. This gives the misapprehension to th...
متن کاملA lightweight algorithm for detecting mobile Sybil nodes in mobile wireless sensor networks
Sybil attack is a well-known attack against wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in which a malicious node attempts to propagate multiple identities. This attack is able to affect routing protocols negatively as well as many other operations such as voting, data aggregation, resource allocation, misbehavior detection, etc. In this paper, a light weight, dynamic algorithm is proposed for detecting Sy...
متن کاملDetection and Prevention of Sybil Attack in Wireless Sensor Network Employing Random Password Comparison Method
Security is imperative for some Sensor Network Applications. An especially unsafe assault against sensor and impromptu systems is known as the Sybil attack, where a node illegitimately asserts numerous characters. In this type of attack a legal node is converted into a Sybil node which is a replica node with a different personality but using a similar ID. This leads to data leakage which causes...
