Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are widely and successfully employed in various application domains. They are easily deployed to collect valuable information and monitor potential environmental phenomena. However, the special nature of WSNs as well as their severe constraints and resource limitations make them vulnerable to various types of threats. Replay attack, is one example. According to this attack, the adversary intercepts and replays several times the same (old) message leading either to missed alerts or to false alerts. Many solutions have been proposed to mitigate message replay attack. However, all these solutions are of cryptographic natures and consider only external attacks exercising a trivial scenario of replay attack. In fact, the attacker could be a lot smarter, and in this case, it replays only the data field in the message while keeping the remaining fields updated. This novel form of replay attack is much more dangerous and difficult to be detected. We call this attack variant by data replay attack. As sensor nodes may be easily captured and compromised, the worst scenario occurs if data replay attack is performed by an internal intruder. In this paper we propose an efficient intrusion detection framework to overcome data replay attack in WSNs. The proposed intrusion detection system is named DR-IDS (Data Replay Intrusion Detection System). The performance evaluations performed under NS2 simulator show that the proposed solution is sufficiently robust.

“…A secure time synchronization service is required to maintain time consistency across the entire network -since SMP-FPR relies on temporal dimension in order to estimate the quality of paths by time-stamping certain protocol messages (e.g., RREQ messages). We rely on solutions such as [15,14] to provide security guarantees over the time synchronization services. We assume that the localization and time synchronization services are robust to abuses towards resource depletion via link and physical layer jamming [21].…”

Electrostatic Field-based Routing (EFR) is a form of geographical multi-path routing where packets are routed along (a collection of) paths corresponding to electrostatic field lines defined by the charges associated with source and sink nodes. Ideally, EFR provides an efficient and scalable solution to the workload balancing problem, thereby promoting a more even depletion of the energy resources among the participating sensors. However, in addition to not being adaptable to the realistic settings that consider the actual nodes' locations, it also assumes that nodes behave in a cooperative manner. This, in turn, renders it vulnerable to various attacks. In this article, we investigate the security aspects of EFR-based routing protocols, focusing on an instance of EFR called Multi-Pole Field Persistent Routing (MP-FPR). While advancing the naïve EFR in terms of the better location-awareness energy balancing, MP-FPR is still susceptible to the same family of attacks. We provide systematic identification of the attacks that can target different components of the protocol, and propose an extended variant, Secure Multi-Pole Field Persistent Routing (SMP-FPR) which incorporates a collection of defense mechanisms. We present extensive experimental evaluations of the impact of the different attacks and the effectiveness of the proposed defense mechanisms.

“…By general scientific notion, resilience to faulty devices can be achieved through redundancy of end-devices, information validation during communication, etc. [10,11,12]. Nonetheless, integrating the requirements of either energy e ciency or adaptability with fault resilience poses a non-trivial challenge.…”

“…Existing communication algorithms in IoT applications address one or at most two of the requirements discussed earlier, while none of them simultaneously addresses all three of them. Although adaptability has been addressed independently in various existing solutions [12,19], we analyze the literature on energy-e cient solutions and resilient solutions that integrate adaptability. This allows for the comparison of existing state-of-the-art that is closest to our proposed solution of collectively addressing all the requirements discussed earlier.…”
