Abstract
Compromised nodes can send a lot of forged reports to the sink node which is call false data injection (FDI). Meanwhile, sensor networks are heavily constrained in terms of energy, computational capabilities, etc. Therefore, FDI is severe threat to wireless sensor networks. Traditional mechanisms defeating FDI include en-route filtering and traceback based on probabilistic packet marking method. In this paper, we propose a balanced mechanism against FDI based on marking method and log recording. Forwarding nodes decide whether to mark the packet or log the marking field of the packet. If a forwarding node logs a packet, it deletes all previous marking information. When the sink node finds out that FDI occurs, it will launch traceback scheme. The sink can locate logging nodes according to the marking information and locate previous logging nodes by looking for records stored. We evaluate our design through analysis and simulations. The results show that the mechanism is well-balanced between marking overhead and logging overhead.
