• Many, cheap sensors
• wireless  easy to install
• intelligent  collaboration
• low-power  long lifetime
Possible applications
• Military
• battlefield surveillance, biological attack detection,
targeting
• Ecological
• fire detection, flood detection, agricultural uses
• Health related
• human physiological data monitoring
• Miscellaneous
• car theft detection, inventory control, home
applications
Required technologies
• Efficient data routing
• ad-hoc network
• one or more ‘datasinks’
• In-network data processing
• large amounts of raw data
• limited power and bandwidth
• Node localization
Security in WSN
• Main security threats in WSN are:
• Radio links are insecure – eavesdropping /
injecting faulty information is possible
• Sensor nodes are not temper resistant – if it is
compromised the attacker obtains all security
information
• Protecting confidentiality, integrity, and
availability of the communications and
computations
Why security is different?
•Sensor Node Constraint
•Battery
•CPU power
•Memory
•Networking Constraints and Features
•Wireless
•Ad hoc
•Unattended

What is intrusion detection?
• Intrusion detection is the process of
discovering, analyzing, and reporting
unauthorized or damaging network or
computer activities
• Intrusion detection discovers violations of
confidentiality, integrity, and availability of
information and resources
What is intrusion detection?
• Intrusion detection demands:
• As much information as the computing
resources can possibly collect and store
• Experienced personnel who can interpret
network traffic and computer processes
• Constant improvement of technologies and
processes to match pace of Internet
innovation
How useful is intrusion
detection?
• Provide digital forensic data to support postcompromise law enforcement actions
• Identify host and network misconfigurations
• Improve management and customer
understanding of the Internet's inherent
hostility
• Learn how hosts and networks operate at the
operating system and protocol levels
Intrusion detection models
• All computer activity and network traffic
falls in one of three categories:
• Normal
• Abnormal but not malicious
• Malicious
• Properly classifying these events are the
single most difficult problem -- even more
difficult than evidence collection
Intrusion detection models
• Two primary intrusion detection models
• Network-based intrusion detection monitors
network traffic for signs of misuse
• Host-based intrusion detection monitors
computer processes for signs of misuse
• So-called "hybrid" systems may do both
• A hybrid IDS on a host may examine network
traffic to or from the host, as well as
processes on that host
IDS paradigms

•
Anomaly Detection - the AI approach
Misuse Detection - simple and easy
Burglar Alarms - policy based detection
Honey Pots - lure the hackers in
Hybrids - a bit of this and that
Anomaly detection
• Goals:
• Analyze the network or system and infer what
is normal
• Apply statistical or heuristic measures to
subsequent events and determine if they
match the model/statistic of “normal”
• If events are outside of a probability window
of “normal” then generate an alert
Misuse detection
• Goals:
• Know what constitutes an attack
• Detect it
• A database of known attack signatures should
be maintained

Network model
•BSj: base station at
location (Xj, Yj)
•Si: sensor node at
location (xi, yi)
•R: transmission range
of the base station
•r: transmission range
of the sensor node
•k-coverage: a node
covers by k BSs
Definitions
• Coverage of a base station
Ci  { p : p  BS i  R}
• Number of coverage from base stations
S k  { p  BSi i  BSi 2 ...  BSi k | 1  i j  N }
• p sends data to q successfully (in 1-hop)

Types of intrusions
• Sinkhole SH(q), HelloFlood HF(q)
• A region of nodes will forward packets
destined for a BS through an adversary
