TinyWIDS: a WPM-based Intrusion Detection System for TinyOS2.x/802.15.4 Wireless Sensor Networks

Last years have seen the growth of interest for Middleware (MW) exploitation in distributed resource-constrained systems like Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Available MW platforms usually provide an Application Layer (AL) with different basic services but no security services. In such a context, this paper describes an existing TinyOS2.x-based MW tailored to IEEE 802.15.4 WSN (Agilla2) and an existing Intrusion Detection System (IDS) based on a Weak Process Model approach (WIDS). Then, the paper reports the main issues related to the implementation of WIDS on TinyOS2.x/802.15.4 (TinyWIDS) and provides experimental results. Finally, the paper proposes a strategy for the integration of TinyWIDS into Agilla2.
