Efficient and lightweight intrusion detection based on nodes' behaviors in wireless sensor networks

In this paper, we design and implement an Efficient and Lightweight Intrusion Detection (ELID) framework based on a new detection technique. This later relies on the fact that nodes that are located within the same cluster have almost a similar behavior. This fact is demonstrated by both simulation and experimental studies. According to the obtained results, ELID exhibits a high detection rate, low false positive rate, low energy consumption and requires less time to detect the following attacks: Selective forwarding, Black hole, Sinkhole, Wormhole and Denial of Service (DoS).
