Security of wireless sensor networks (WSN) has become one of the hottest areas over the past few years. However, insufficiency of memory and battery power of sensors makes sensor networks vulnerable to be attacked. As a second line of defense, Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is one useful method defending against attacks. In present literatures, most of IDS models in WSN are Static IDS (SIDS), which have inherent disadvantages and are not feasible for WSN. This paper proposes a Dynamic model of IDS (DIDS) for WSN, which has a remarkable improvement in the security, stability and robustness issues as compared to SIDS. Simulation results show that DIDS's detection rate is 10% higher than SIDS with a range of 15m and much higher with smaller ranges, and DIDS can prolong the lifetime of networks by 8% on average.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
