The Selective Forwarding Attack in Sensor Networks: Detections and Countermeasures

By Yang Xiang Mohammed Y Aalsalem Quratulain Arshad Wazir Zada Khan

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijwmt.2012.02.06, Pub. Date: 15 Apr. 2012

Sensor networks are becoming closer towards wide-spread deployment so security issues become a vital concern. Selective forwarding attack is one of the harmful attacks against sensor networks and can affect the whole sensor network communication. The variety of defense approaches against selective forwarding attack is overwhelming. In this paper we have described all the existing defensive schemes according to our best knowledge against this attack along with their drawbacks, thus providing researchers a better understanding of the attack and current solution space. This paper also classifies proposed schemes according to their nature and defense. Nature of scheme classifies into Distributed and Centralized. Defense of scheme classifies into detection and prevention.
