Abstract

In wireless sensor networks, sensor nodes are typically resource constrained and used as routers to forward packets for other nodes. Compromised sensor nodes may be able to cause network-wide denial of service by dropping or corrupting packets. This paper presents a novel, lightweight approach for detecting disruptive routers that drop or corrupt packets.
