摘要：Wireless sensor networks have been widely applied in many areas due to their unique characteristics. These have exposed them to different types of active and passive attacks. In the literature, several solutions have been proposed to mitigate these attacks. Most of the proposed solutions are too complex to be implemented in wireless sensor networks considering the resource-constraint of sensor nodes. In this work, we proposed a hierarchical trust mechanism based on clustering approach to detect and prevent denial of service attacks in wireless sensor networks. The approach was validated through simulation using Network Simulator (NS2). The following metrics were used to evaluation the proposed scheme: packet delivery ratio, network lifetime, routing delay, overhead, and number of nodes. The proposed approach is capable of detecting compromised sensor nodes vulnerable to a denial of service attacks. Moreover, it is able to detect all sensed data that have been compromised during transmission to the base station. The results show that our method can effectively detect and defend against denial of service attacks in sensor wireless sensor networks.
