Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks: A Framework Based Solution for Physical Security Attacks

Mobile wireless sensor networks are made up of resource-constrained sensor nodes.The nodes in Mobile wireless sensor networks tend to move wirelessly from one location to another. In physically unattended and insecure areas, these networks are installed where they are vulnerable to numerous security threats, including physical security threats.Clone node attack is a physical attack in which the adversary physically compromises legitimate nodes and copies their data onto fake nodes to create clones of captured nodes. In static wireless sensor networks, comprehensive work isalready done to mitigate and detect the underlying attack. Mitigating and detecting this assault on mobile wireless sensor networks, however, remains a critical issue. To our knowledge, there is no framework-based method for bolstering multiple attacks onmobile wireless sensor networks.Consequently, this article proposes a framework-based approach that mitigates multiple attacks on mobile WSNs. To provide proof-of-concept for the framework, along with clone node attacks solution to jamming attacks is alsoincorporated in the framework. The implementation of the framework is done with the COOJA simulator and Contiki OS.
