Energy saving by centralized sleep in early detection of captured nodes

Abstract

We have previously shown that the first stage scheme is effective in the detection of physical capture attacks in wireless sensor networks. Like most existing detection schemes, our scheme relies upon message passing. Regular message passing consumes considerable energy. In this paper the first stage scheme is integrated with a novel sleep/wakeup mechanism, which is completely pre-scheduled based upon a node's internal clock. The scheduling tolerates minor clock alignment errors, so no frequent synchronization is needed. In addition, a sink-based dissemination technique is adopted, which replaces frequent and overlapped flooding of many regular nodes with sparse sink-triggered flooding. The adoption further saves energy expense. A LDCFSD protocol has been implemented in simulation. Simulation results have confirmed above conclusion.

Detection of Node Capture under Asynchronous Sleep Mode Based on Recurrent Neural Network

“…The CAT method [17] pairs nodes into node couples. Each node in a couple monitors the survivability of the other node by sending and receiving beacon messages.…”

“…The method proposed by Ding et al [17] considers nodes' sleep mechanism in its design of a node capture detection mechanism based on survivability monitoring. However, this approach incurs extra resource consumption as it requires an additional synchronization mechanism to ensure all nodes enter the sleep state and are awakened simultaneously, thus limiting its application scope.…”
