Abstract EN
Wormhole attack is a severe threat to wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which has received considerable attentions in the literature.
However, most of the previous approaches either require special hardware devices or depend on rigorous assumptions on the network settings, which greatly limit their applicability.
In this work, we attempt to relax the limitations in prior work, and propose a novel approach to detect wormhole attacks by only local topology information in WSNs.
The basic idea is as follows.
Each node locally collects its neighborhood information and reconstructs the neighborhood subgraph by multidimensional scaling (MDS).
Potential wormhole nodes are detected by validating the legality of the reconstruction.
Then, a refinement process is introduced to filter the suspect nodes and to remove false positives.
Our approach solely relies on the local connectivity information and is extremely simple and lightweight, which makes it applicable in practical systems.
Extensive simulations are conducted, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness and superior performance of our approach.
