| Popis: | 106 Today internet becomes very scalable and sometimes difficult to manage. However, to the best of our knowledge, wireless communication systems are recognizing as less secure and exposed to numerous attacks. The usage of Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs) in different fields is possible nowadays due to the ease of their deployment and the reduction of their cost. Wireless Sensor Networks are growing considerably and they are useful to our daily life. Nevertheless, we need to provide a high security to the WSNs because of the sensitivity that the sensor nodes carry out over the network. This study aims to develop an efficient approach to detect the Sybil attack, one of the threatening attack within the WSNs. Most of the researchers on Sybil attack detection used the nodes positions to detect the counterfeits nodes within the network. Therefore, the most used method is the Received Signal Strength (RSSI). It consists to record the observations about the nodes related to their location information. Unfortunately, this method shows its limit when the nodes within the Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) are not fixed. The second weakness of this method is the power consumption, which is the main issue in WSN. This paper proposed an algorithm using IPv6, MAC address and salt number to prevent the Sybil attack within the WSN. The performances analysis show that our approach has better performance on efficiency and effectiveness. |
