Abstract

One of the critical issue of wireless sensor networks is a poor sensor battery. It leads to sensor vulnerability for battery exhausting attacks. Quick depletion of battery power is not only explained by intrusions but also by a malfunction of networks protocols. In this paper, a special type of denial-of-service attack is investigated. The intrusion effect is the depletion of sensor battery power. In contrast to general denial-of-service attack, quality of service under the considered attack is not necessarily degraded. Therefore, the application of traditional defense mechanism against this intrusion is not always possible. Taking into account proprieties of wireless sensor networks, a model for evaluation of energy consumption under the attack is described. Using this model, the attack detection method is offered.
