“…If

has capability C-3 then he will also have C-4, which means that the session key and authorized public keys are exposed. Therefore, the compromised node must be detected and exiled from the system, for which several optional mechanisms can be used [ 32 , 33 , 34 ]. For simplicity, the details of these mechanisms are not discussed in this manuscript.…”

The use of signature-based broadcast authentication for code and data dissemination in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) cannot be avoided. It increases security but requires high computation. Adversaries can exploit the latter condition as an opportunity to send many false signatures. Filtering methods can overcome this vulnerability. Cipher Puzzle is a filtering method that has low storage overhead along with high security, especially against denial of service (DoS) attacks. However, its number of hash iterations cannot be bounded, which causes sender-side delay. This paper proposes a Dynamic Cipher Puzzle (DCP), which uses a threshold function to limit the number of hash iterations. Hence, time at the sender-side can be used more efficiently. Besides, its dynamic puzzle-strength increases the obscurity of the transmitted packet. Simulation and experimental results were analyzed with Arduino 2560. The theoretical results show that the quadratic function outperformed the compared methods. The scheme decreased sender-side delay by 94.6% with a guarantee of zero solution probability in 1.728 ×10−13. The experimental results show that the consumption of resources at the sensor node increases with an acceptable value. Moreover, DCP increases the complexity for the attacker to implement probability and signature-based DoS attacks.

“…Node capture should be detected as soon as possible to reduce the damage caused by the captured nodes to the network. Ideally, the captured nodes should be discovered as soon as the node capture occurs and be isolated from the network communication [15] . Such a node discovery action corresponds to the early detection of the physical node capture attack in the first stage.…”

In recent years, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have found numerousapplications in industrial manufacturing and people’s daily lives. However, security risks associated with the use of WSNs have also become increasingly pronounced. An attacker launching an internal attack on a WSNmust first physically capture several nodes, i.e., take control of the target nodes by acquiring, cracking, and analyzing important information carried by the target nodes, thus laying the groundwork for subsequent attack steps. Therefore, physical node capture is a critical step in an internal attack on aWSN. Detecting behaviorsthat indicatephysical capture of nodes provides an early warning of anetwork attack, allowing steps to be taken to prevent further attacks from being launched from the captured nodes. This paper proposes an RNN (recurrent neural network)-based detection method that can be used to detect node capture in WSNs with asynchronous sleep mode at an early stage (i.e., before captured nodes rejoin the network).Thus, the methodenables early detection of network attacks. During the decision-making process, a common monitoring mechanism that relies on cooperation between neighboring nodes is employed to improve detection accuracy. The proposed method obtains the sensor nodes’ states and makes a judgment with the help of RNN, achieving accurate detection of node capture under the condition of unsynchronized clocks. Simulation results demonstrate the proposed method’s capability to achieve high detection accuracy.

“…For example, compromising of the node, energy consumption, and routing set has emerged in recent years. By using the node compromise, which is one of the major issues in WSN, an attacker can capture physically and compromise stored data or software [3]. In addition, compromise of energy consumption and routing set that impede smooth data transmission are also remained as challenges to be solved [4], [5].…”

As WSNs combine with a diversity of next-generation technologies, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have gained considerable attention as a promising ubiquitous technology. Even though several studies on WSNs are being undertaken, few systematically analyze the security issues relating to them. Moreover, recent systems tend to be implemented without sufficient consideration about owns security requirements, which can lead to lethal threats. Systems that do not consider security requirements may provide attackers the opportunity to reduce the overall efficiency and performance of the system. This means that inadequately applied security requirements can result in defective security of systems. Therefore, in this study, we emphasized the importance of security requirements to raise awareness regarding them. In addition, we analyzed literature that could be improved by including WSNs security requirements such as characteristics, constraints, and threats. Furthermore, we adopted a systematic methodology by referring to reliable literature and performed a different analysis from previous studies. We derived and mapped the different security factors based on the literature and illustrated the relationships of each security factor. Finally, our research compared with studies of a similar type to evaluate whether it provided a significant contribution. In other words, in this study, we analyzed various factors related to WSNs security based on reviewing the literature and show our contribution, such as a systematic analysis framework and factor mapping compared with traditional studies. Though there are some considerations, we expect that this research derived the essential security requirements in any WSNs environments.
