Abstract

In the node capture attack, the adversary intelligently captures nodes and extracts the cryptographic keys from their memories to destroy the security, reliability and confidentiality of the wireless sensor networks. However, it suffers from low attacking efficiency and high resource expenditure. In this paper, we approach this attack from an adversarial view and develop a matrix-based method to model the process of the node capture attack. We establish a matrix to indicate the compromising relationship between the nodes and the paths. We propose a Matrix-based node capture attack Algorithm (MA in short), which can maximize the destructiveness while consuming the minimum resource expenditure. We conduct several experiments to show the performance of MA. Experimental results manifest that MA can reduce the attacking round, shorten the execution time, enhance the attacking efficiency and conserve the energy cost.
