Abstract

Compared with the encryption and the authentication which can prevent the external attacks, the trust management schemes are the better approaches for defending against the internal attacks in wireless sensor network (WSN). The reputation time-varying (RTV) attacks are internal attacks. In the reputation time-varying attacks, the reputation value of nodes is manipulated to adjust dynamically by the compromised nodes or malicious attackers. Hence, these attacks have greater covert and invasive. In this paper, we propose a Time-window-based Resilient Trust Management Scheme (TRTMS) to defend against the reputation time-varying attacks in wireless sensor network. In this scheme, based on BETA distribution, the behaviors of compromised nodes are analyzed for a period of time, and then the difference judgment and the trend analysis are utilized to identify the abnormality of nodes’ reputation value, meanwhile, the control factor F c and the time window are introduced to verify and remove the compromised modes from the suspected malicious nodes, which refer to those nodes’ reputation value changes are caused by the wireless channel changes. The result of simulation shows that our proposed scheme can defend reputation time-varying attacks effectively and it is convenient to implement.
