Capacity trust assessment for multi-hop routing in wireless sensor networks

This paper proposed a newIntrusion Detection mechanism based on Multiple Trust Attributes in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Mainly this work concentrated to assess the trust in ems of capacities of the sensor nodes. The capacity of a node is formulated based on two trusts namely Fault Tolerance Trust and Stability Trust. Every SN checks the trustworthiness of its neighbour SNs based on the Capacity Trust and confirms their trustworthiness. If any node is discovered as malicious, such type of node is called as intrusion or outlier and isolated from network.Extensive Simulations are conducted over the proposed intrusion detection mechanism and the performance is evaluated through Malicious Detection Rate, and False Positive Rate.
