| Abstract: |
Security is important for many sensor network applications. A particularly
harmful attack against sensor and ad hoc networks is known as the
Sybil attack based on J.R. Douceur (2002), where a node illegitimately
claims multiple identities. This paper systematically analyzes the
threat posed by the Sybil attack to wireless sensor networks. We
demonstrate that the attack can be exceedingly detrimental to many
important functions of the sensor network such as routing, resource
allocation, misbehavior detection, etc. We establish a classification
of different types of the Sybil attack, which enables us to better
understand the threats posed by each type, and better design countermeasures
against each type. We then propose several novel techniques to defend
against the Sybil attack, and analyze their effectiveness quantitatively. |
