Detection of False Data in Wireless Sensor Network Using Hash Chain

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is often to consist of adhoc devices that have low power, limited memory and computational power. WSN is deployed in hostile environment, due to which attacker can inject false data easily. Due to distributed nature of WSN, adversary can easily inject the bogus data into the network because sensor nodes don't ensure data integrity and not have strong authentication mechanism. This paper reviews and analyze the performance of some of the existing false data filtering schemes and propose new scheme to identify the false data injected by adversary or compromised node. Proposed schemes shown better and efficiently filtrate the false data in comparison with existing schemes.
