Abstract

Sensors are tiny devices deployed to monitor any object of interest. As these devices are unsupervised, they are liable to get compromised. The chapter suggests to minimize sinkhole attack in the network. The work is an improvement of the cross-layer detection method. The doings of the network and MAC layer are brought in together to enhance security in the network. The proposed study uses signal strength and node identification to track the malicious node in the network. The work suffixes a hash code to enhance security in the network. The work aids in bringing forward secrecy. The energy is reduced by 18.18%, and the security is increased by 22% with the comparison to the previous work.
