Performance analysis of detection technique for select forwarding attack on WSN

Wireless Sensor Network is quite vulnerable to many security compromising attacks as wormhole attack, message replay or tampering, identity spoofing, black hole attack, eavesdropping, and so on. One of the impacts of select forwarding attack is that, it can be used to drops some of data packets. LEACHES (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) apply cluster rotation randomly for distribution of energy among all sensor nodes. In this paper, Selective Forwarding Attack creation, detection, and then removal are done on LEACH routing in Wireless Sensor Networks. It is analyzed that how performance of networks affected with select forwarding attack then performance of detection & removal algorithm is analyzed. Moreover Performance of LEACH has been evaluated in terms of Packet Delivery Ratio with number of attacker node of select forwarding attack. The proposed analysis is simulated using network simulator NS2. The prevention technique is significantly successful in handling the attack while restoring the performance of network and reduces the effect of attack from the network.
