Abstract: The proposed research work is an attempt to build an algorithm to resolve an intrusion attack namely; the sinkhole attack from Mint Route protocol, being one of the most commonly used routing protocols in wireless sensor networks. This paper illustrates the working of the protocol and studies it in detail. We emphasize on strategies that an attacker can choose to launch a sinkhole attack. Then we attempt to propose a specific algorithm that may reduce the intrusion threats in wireless sensor networks.
Keywords: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Sinkhole Attack, Mint Route Protocol, Light Weight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP).
Scope of the Article: Energy Harvesting and Transfer for Wireless Sensor Networks
