A detection method of wormhole attack in power communication sensor networks based on hops

Aiming at the problems of low accuracy of determining attack nodes and large detection error in the wormhole attack detection method of power communication sensor networks, a wormhole attack detection method based on hops is proposed. Firstly, the working process of power communication sensor network nodes is analyzed; Regard the node area as a closed circle, set the distance between nodes and communication radius in the area, and determine the wormhole attack location; Then, introduce the hop number, replace the linear distance between attack nodes with the hop distance of hop number, the centroid position is calculated by polygon calculation, the node hop distance is determined, and the wormhole attack probability is calculated; Finally, the average hop distance between wormhole attack nodes is calculated, and the path hop distance of attack behavior is corrected with the help of objective function and minimum mean square error criterion to complete attack detection. The experimental results show that the detection accuracy of this method is 98%, and the detection error is only 2.6%, so it has application value.
