Distributed Detection of Byzantine Attacks in WSNs: A Short Critical Survey

Mohan N, Akram Pasha

Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have played a vital role, and is considered to be one of the immense and emerging technologies as there are various innovative applications both for public sector and military organizations. The type of sensing technology used in WSNs combined with the processing power continue to be productive and get to be utilized in abundance in the forth coming applications. Therefore, due to their unlimited prospective views, WSNs are currently receiving significant attention in various domains of research. Additionally, despite the fact that WSNs are characterized by severely constrained computational and energy resources, they are still complemented by their unlimited potential and hence they are currently getting trivial interest. However, it is still too early in the lifetime of such systems to get established, as there exist many research challenges that are yet to be met. Consequently, much research has been focused on making sensor networks feasible and useful rather than concentrating much on the security aspects of the deployment.

Therefore, the objective of the work proposed in this article is to critically study the security aspects of WSNs, considering the Distributed Detection of Byzantine Attacks in particular.

Keywords: Security in WSNs, Byzantine Attacks, Distributed Detection.
