The DPC-based Scheme for Detecting Selective Forwarding in Clustered Wireless Sensor Networks
2021
Many studies have shown that clustered Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have a better performance in terms of the balance of energy and lifetime. However, due to the harsh environment and open communication, the clustered WSNs are easy to be attacked. The selective forwarding attack is one of the most difficult attacks to be detected. When a malicious sensor node launches the selective forwarding attacks, it drops part of or all the data packets it received. In this paper, we propose a Noise-Based Density Peaks Clustering (NB-DPC) algorithm for detecting selective forwarding attacks. It can detect selective forwarding attacks by clustering the Cumulative Forwarding Rates ( CFRs ) of all sensor nodes. The NB-DPC algorithm has been improved by defining noise points specifically for identifying malicious behavior and deleting the unnecessary steps in Density Peaks Clustering (DPC) for faster detection speed. The NB-DPC has a low Missed Detection Rate (MDR) and False Detection Rate (FDR) of below 1% according to the simulation results.
