Description
Summary:For resource-constrained wireless sensor networks (WSNs), designing a lightweight intrusion detection technology has been a hot and difficult issue. In this paper, we proposed a lightweight intrusion detection method that was able to directly map the network status into sensor monitoring data received by base station, so that base station can sense the abnormal changes in the network. Our method is highlighted by the fusion of fuzzy c-means algorithm, one-class SVM, and sliding window procedure to effectively differentiate network attacks from abnormal data. Finally, the proposed method was tested on the wireless sensor network simulation software EXata and in real applications. The results showed that the intrusion detection method in this paper could effectively identify whether the abnormal data came from a network attack or just a noise. In addition, extra energy consumption can be avoided in all sensor monitoring nodes of the sensor network where our method has been deployed.
