Abstract
In Sybil attack, a single faulty entity illegitimately claims multiple identities to gather more packets, which is extremely detrimental to network performance. This paper proposes an enhanced RSSI-based detection scheme with an innovative detection framework, including suspicious node screening phase and Sybil node verification phase. Introducing reputation module and adaptive threshold, malicious nodes are figured and marked by monitoring node promptly, which is essential to guarantee the reliability of detection nodes. In the collaborative work, monitoring node screens out the suspicious Sybil nodes firstly, and then selects two high reputation nodes for every suspicious node as detection nodes to carry out the verification of Sybil nodes. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that our scheme achieves fast locating ability and high detection accuracy with low energy consumption.
