This paper focuses on designing distributed wireless sensor network gateways armed with Intrusion Detection System (IDS). The main contribution of this work is the attempt to insert IDS functionality into the gateway node (UBICOM IP2022 network processor chip) itself. This was achieved by building a light weight signature based IDS based on the famous open source SNORT IDS. Regarding gateway nodes, as they have limited processing and energy constrains, the addition of further tasks (the IDS program) may affects seriously on its performance, so that, the current design takes these constrains into consideration as a priority and use a special protocol to achieve this goal. In order to optimize the performance of the gateway nodes, some of the preprocessing tasks were offloaded from the gateway nodes to a suggested classification and processing server and a new searching algorithm was suggested. Different measures were taken to validate the design procedure and a detailed simulation model was built to discover the behavior of the system in different environments.

Jamming Attack

In recent years, wireless sensor network (WSN) is the measure concern over network communication. A number of attacks are occurred at the time of network communication as result it hampers the smooth functionality, data flow and data transmission. In this article, we have proposed a trust-based intrusion detection system for physical layers attacks using DRI and Cross Check method. The HTBIDS is effective method to identify the abnormal nodes in wireless sensor network. The abnormal nodes are attacked by periodic jamming attack. We have considered the periodic jamming attack at physical layer for performance evaluation. Results show that HTBIDS performs better using detection accuracy (DA) and false alarm rate (FAR).
