“…Thereby, our system differs from others by its [2]: The concept of isolating various functions and restricting their access to specific system can also be applied to security in wireless environment integrated in the operating system itself. The best way to overcome the nonrealistic constraint of implementing the framework in each communication program is to integrate it in the kernel and consequently having an overall security control.…”

“…Accordingly, the concept that must cope with this new security challenge in terms of availability has to be based on dynamic adaptation security system to satisfy an overall performance such as network reliability and energy loss. We have already proposed a generic Security Adaptation Reference Monitor (SARM) as a compelling solution for such problems [2]. In this paper, we will apply it for WSN under sinkhole attacks.…”

Security in Wireless Sensor Network has become a hot research topic due to their wide deployment and the increasing new runtime attacks they are facing. We observe that traditional security protocols address conventional security problems and cannot deal with dynamic attacks such as sinkhole dynamic behavior. Moreover, they use resources, and limit the efficient use of sensor resources and inevitably the overall network efficiency is not guaranteed. Therefore, the requirements of new security mechanisms must be addressed in a flexible manner. Indeed, there is a lack of generic security adaptation protocols to deal with extremely dynamic security conditions and performances in a context of Wireless Sensor Network where reliability is a critical criterion for many applications. This paper proposes our Security Adaptation Reference Monitor for Wireless Sensor already validated in proximitybased wireless network. It is based on an autonomic computing security looped system, which fine-tunes security means based on the monitoring of the context. Extensive simulations using agent-based approach have been conducted to verify the performance of our system in the case of sensor network in the presence of sinkhole attacks. The results clearly show that we are efficient in terms of survivability, overall network utilization, and power consumption.
