Abstract: Node localization becomes an important issue in the wireless sensor network as its broad applications in environment monitoring, emergency rescue and battlefield surveillance, etc. fundamentally the DV-Hop localization mechanism function well with the support of beacon nodes that have the potential of self-positioning. However, if the network is invaded by a wormhole attack, the attacker can tunnel the packets via the wormhole link to cause severe impacts on the DV-Hop localization process. The distance- vector propagation phase during the localization even aggravates the positioning result, compared to the localization schemes without wormhole attacks. In this paper, the impacts of wormhole attack on DV- Hop localization scheme and advanced DV -Hop localization. Based on this a label-based secure localization scheme is proposed to defend against the wormhole attack
