A base-station oriented anomaly detection for wireless sensor networks

Abstract

In this paper, an anomalous intrusion detection system is developed to detect malicious nodes in sensor networks.The proposed system has more reliability in comparison of its analogues and consumes the resources more efficiently. Here the base-station was known to be a trusted source and this helps the system can moderate the network more efficiently. In addition a node doesn't block a compromised node when detects it and only send an alert to the base-station. Then the base-station will check transmission buffer of that node and if the base-station concludes that the node is compromised, the rest of the network will be informed, and the appropriate actions will be taken. This mechanism reduces the false positive rate.

A Self-testing Approach Defending against Rogue Base Station Hijacking of Intelligent Terminal

“…With the rapid development of Internet and communication technology in public mobile communications network, GSM system becomes one of the most popular digital cellular telecommunications systems in the whole world. When intelligent terminal selects a new Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) in the cellular mobile communication system, it tries to reside in a cell which decoding downlink reliably and communicating uplink effectively [1]. According to it, the intelligent terminal receives the paging information from PLMN and establishes a call.…”

Toward Intelligent Intrusion Prediction for Wireless Sensor Networks Using Three-Layer Brain-Like Learning

“…In the existing intrusion detection schemes of WSNs [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], two approaches have been used: signature-based detection and anomaly detection. Signature-based detection [7][8][9][10][11][12] lies in the monitoring of system activity and the identification of behaviors which are similar to pattern signatures of known attacks or intrusions stored in a signature database.…”

“…On the other hand, anomaly detection systems [6,[13][14][15]] detect attacks by observing deviations from a preestablished normal system or user behavior. This approach makes detecting new or unknown attacks, if these attacks imply an abnormal use of the system.…”

“…Intrusion detection is a security technology that attempts to identify those who are trying to break into and misuse a system without authorization and those who have legitimate access to the system but are abusing their privileges. Recently, the problem of intrusion detection in WSNs has received considerable attention [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”
