Dynamic Detection and Prevention of Clone Attack in Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks are often deployed in adverse environments where an attackers can physically capture some of the nodes, first can reconstruct the programme, and then, can replicate them in large number of clones, easily takeover the control of network. Wireless Sensor Networks highly indispensable for securing network protection. Various kinds of major attacks have been documented in wireless sensor network, till now by many researchers. The Clone attack is a massive harmful attack against the sensor network where large number of genuine replicas are used for illegal entry into a network. Discerning the Clone attack, Sybil attack, sinkhole, and wormhole attack while multicasting is a excellent job in the wireless sensor network. The existing method Randomised, Efficient, and Distributed (RED) has only a scheme of self-healing mechanism, which just verifies the node identities by analyzing the neighbours. A survey was done on a Clone attack on the objective of dissolving this problem. The overview of survey has proposed a combined PVM (position verification method) with MVP (Message Verification and Passing) for detecting, eliminating, and eventually preventing the entry of Clone nodes within the network.
