Detecting Sybil Attack In Wireless Sensor Networks Using Machine Learning Algorithms

Abstract

Abstract In sensitive areas such as battlefields, a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is especially in military and civilian applications and it is of utmost importance to develop security in these networks. In various respects, this can improve the quality of life. But to be used for protection reasons in multiple situations such as implementation. There is a high risk of being exposed to multiple viruses and hacking attacks. Unauthorized APs for information protection needs to be detected. Any malicious attacks against these networks, Like Sybil Attack leads to breach of security by enacting as a node that illegitimately declares several false identities at the same time. This misleads valid nodes, and they presume each of those identifiers as actual independent nodes by accident. Thus we proposed a machine learning model to detect Sybil attack in network where rawtraffic data has been collected and is used identify authorized and unauthorized APs in an integrated wired/wireless environment.
