Wormhole Attack in Wireless Sensor Network: a Survey
نویسنده
چکیده
Wireless sensor networks passes a practical and Economically feasible alternative to manual data association in general and military scenarios, providing a means of surveillance of a region of field and providing warning of any threats. In common wormhole attack, the attacker receives packets in the network, forward them through a wired or wireless association with high-bandwidth low-latency bond in the network links, broadcast them to another point in the network. In these environments, security issues are intensely important since a successful attack can cause great damage, even portending human life. The main emphasis of this paper is to study wormhole attack & its detection method.
