Intrusion is one of the biggest problems in wireless sensor networks. Because of the evolution in wired and wireless mechanization, various archetypes are used for communication. But security is the major concern as networks are more prone to intrusions. An intrusion can be dealt in two ways: either by detecting an intrusion in a wireless sensor network or by preventing an intrusion in a wireless sensor network. Many researchers are working on detecting intrusions and less emphasis is given on intrusion prevention. One of the modern techniques for averting intrusions is through fuzzy logic. In this paper, we have defined a fuzzy rule-based system to avert intrusions in wireless sensor network. The proposed system works in three phases: feature extraction, membership value computation and fuzzified rule applicator. The proposed method revolves around predicting nodes in three categories as “red”, “orange” and “green”. “Red” represents that the node is malicious and prevents it from entering the network. “Orange” represents that the node “might be malicious” and marks it suspicious. “Green” represents that the node is not malicious and it is safe to enter the network. The parameters for the proposed FzMAI are packet send to base station, energy consumption, signal strength, a packet received and PDR. Evaluation results show an accuracy of 98.29% for the proposed system. A detailed comparative analysis concludes that the proposed system outperforms all the other considered fuzzy rule-based systems. The advantage of the proposed system is that it prevents a malicious node from entering the system, thus averting intrusion.
