【 摘 要 】

Wireless sensor networks are supplied with limited energy resources and are usually installed in unattended and unfriendly environments. These networks are also highly exposed to security attacks aimed at draining the energy of the network to render it unresponsive. Adversaries launch counterfeit report injection attacks and false vote injection attacks through compromised sensor nodes. Several filtering solutions have been suggested for detecting and filtering false reports during the multi-hop forwarding process. However, almost all such schemes presuppose a conventional underlying protocol for data routing that do not consider the attack status or energy dissipation on the route. Each design provides approximately the equivalent resilience in terms of protection against compromised node. However, the energy consumption characteristics of each design differ. We propose a fuzzy adaptive path selection to save energy and avoid the emergence of favored paths. Fresh authentication keys are generated periodically, and these are shared with the filtering nodes to restrict compromised intermediate filtering nodes from the verification process. The scheme helps delay the emergence of hotspot problems near the base station and exhibits improved energy conserving behavior in wireless sensor networks. The proposed scheme provides an extended network lifetime and better false data filtering capacity.
