Distributed location and trust based replica detection in wireless sensor networks

Abstract

The Wireless Sensor Network WSN is emerging as a massive critical technology in wireless communication for environmental monitoring The WSNs are widely applied to hostile environment applications and have tremendous potential for a new breed of smart applications The WSN mostly includes sensor nodes without tamper resistance and so the attacker nodes attempt to replicate the legitimate nodes which significantly impact the network performance Moreover the sensor nodes are small in size and restricted in energy Thus it compels the researchers to develop an energy efficient replica detection scheme for WSNs Considering the factors such as energy consumption communication overhead and computational complexity into account it is essential to design an efficient replica detection algorithm This research work has significant contributions such as To implement TEMPSENPAN cluster tree based wireless sensor network using CC2530DK 2 To implement LTBRD with trust based monitor node in a random or timely fashion to detect replicated nodes in the wireless sensor network newline
