A Detailed Discussion on Node Replication Attacks in Static WSN

Abstract

Wireless sensor nodes gather sensory information from connected nodes that are processed to get relevant results are prone to clone node attacks such as wormhole, sinkhole, eavesdropping and DOS attack where several measures like SET, location aided, witness based detection have been brought to detect them. Clone node attack is one in which the attacker fetch a node from a network and makes a replica to take control over the network. If the attack is not detected then the replica consumes the resource and makes the network vulnerable to large internal attacks. In this literature abundant number of schemes in proposed systems is provided in general that achieves good communication performance, high detection probability, and energy efficiency. But it fails to provide security, effective cost, efficient storage, and accuracy. I.
