摘要：In the recent years, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are widely used to reap the benefits of sensing capacity of mobile nodes and its wireless mode of communication. Sensor network architectures can be used for various applications that include intrusion detection, military patrols, border monitoring, etc. The security of nodes in a sensor network is a challenging issue as they are easy targets for attacks. The node replication attack is one among those attacks. The adversary can capture security credentials from a node by compromising the node. The adversary can replicate the node using the same ID. To rectify this problem in a sensor network, various replica node detection techniques have been proposed. These techniques do not work well when multiple replicas are introduced in the network against genuine nodes. Subsequently, the detection capability of the network is degraded. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes Enhanced Efficient Distributed Detection (EEDD) algorithm. It combines the best features of EDD and danger theory of artificial immune system. This hybrid approach EEDD detects the clones. This method prevents multiple replicas in the WSN. The advantages of the proposed method include (i) increased detection rate, (ii) decreased overheads, (iii) high Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) and (iv) low energy consumption. The proposed method is tested in a simulated environment.
