An efficient network threat detection and classification method using Anp-Mvps algorithm in wireless sensor networks

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are deployed generally in a hostile environment, where an adversary captures some nodes that are physically connected in the network. It initially reprograms the nodes and makes them replicate into a number of clones, thereby having control over them. In order to provide a distributed solution to resolve the above specified problem specified above, a framework based on Authentic Node Placement based Message Verification and Passing Strategy (ANP-MVPS) is proposed. Some of the solutions offered by existing techniques are not satisfactory due to Energy and Memory constraints. This turns to be a serious drawback for protocols used in WSN’s resource constrained environment. In this work, three diverse factors are considered for investigation. They are: Firstly, modeling of Authentic Node Placement based Message Verification and Passing Strategy (ANP-MVPS) is performed to identify the distributed mechanism of clone in a network and prevent the replication of clone among them. Secondly, the parameter selection Probability of Occurrence of IP, Mean Time Intervals, Time to Live, ACK value, Time Stamp Field, SYN value, Differentiated Service Field and Sequence Number are considered before performing classification. Thirdly, an efficient Naive Bayesian classifier for security analysis based on trust value (NB-TV) is used to estimate the performance metrics like accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F-measure, Recall etc. This method shows satisfactory results when compared to existing techniques. The simulation was carried out in MATLAB environment. The proposed method shows better trade off in contrast to prevailing techniques.
