Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of hundreds of small sensors that collect and report data. During data sharing, these WSNs become vulnerable to numerous security threats, including the deadly ones. Mitigating this risk is a real challenge, especially in a low‐resource environment such as a WSN. In this work, using a systematic literature review, we surveyed a large body of research (28 studies) that focused on mitigating wormhole security attacks. Through this study, we evaluate the impact of many proposed security schemes and their impact on the WSN's performance. We compare schemes for effectiveness and pinpoint the limitations. We also analyze the various parameters and metrics used in them and highlight the open research challenges in the field.

Wormhole attack mitigation strategies and their impact on wireless sensor network performance: A literature survey

Routing is prime importance in mobile ad-hoc networks as it is complex and the environment is extremely dynamic. On the other hand multicast routing supports one to many communication and it is efficient with channel usage, bandwidth. Routing algorithms define how data travels in a multicast network. In this paper we take a close look at attacks in multicast networks and propose a secure lightweight failure resilient solution for MAODV. Our protocol is divided into two phases where first phase elect a most energy remaining node as a vice leader. Second, the mechanism can encourage the malicious nodes honestly by providing punishment and incentives. Simulation result shows that the proposed scheme did not exhaust the nodes and a high level of detection rate against without introducing and significant traffic.

Routing is of prime importance in mobile ad-hoc networks as it is complex and the environment is extremely dynamic. On the other hand, multicast routing supports one to many communication and it is efficient with channel usage, bandwidth. Routing algorithms define how data travels in a multicast network. In this paper we take a close look at attacks in multicast networks and ponder up on techniques involved in making the operation secure. Power usage should be kept an eye on, as multicasting involves nodes operating at remote locations. The power consumption was made aimed to make as minimal as possible.
