PE2A: PUBLIC ENCRYPTION WITH TWO ACK APPROACH TO MITIGATE WORMHOLE ATTACK IN WSN

P. V. Khandare, N. P. Kulkarni

Abstract: Wireless Sensor Network provides a solution for various applications like nuclear power plant, military. This type of application required continuous monitoring. WSN is unprotected by various attacks; wormhole attack is one of among them. In this attack an attacker able to receive a packet from one location and drop it into another location. We propose an algorithm to defend wormhole attack, which is based on public key encryption and acknowledgement based. Proposed algorithm provides secure communication and detects misbehaving nodes.

Keywords: Wireless Sensor Network, wormhole Attack
