A NOVEL APPROACH TOWARD SECURING ZIGBEE WIRELESS NETWORKS FROM BLACK HOLE ATTACK

As wireless networks has grown rapidly in recent years, the application of network technology is faced with new threats. In this paper, we will try to present a total view of ZigBee protocol which is a useful specification of IEEE 802.15.4 standard, then we will investigate black hole attack toward ZigBee sensor network which uses AODV technique. Finally we will try to present a new security mechanism which will secure ZigBee networks against this attack. With the aid of demonstrated comparison chartobtained via the implementation of this attack in NS2 software-between a standard ZigBee network and the Secure ZigBee network (the new approach) the improvement and optimality of our novel approach will obviously be comprehendible.
