Cluster Based Mechanism for Clone Detection in WSN

Wireless Sensor Networks deployed for various kinds of applications are prone to large number of attacks. Among various kinds of attacks, clone attack is predominant where a node pretends to have multiple identities and act as a legitimate node further launching several other attacks by taking control over the network. The existing solutions are not satisfactory as they consume large energy and memory. The proposed work deals with the implementation of cluster based mechanism for the detection of clone node otherwise known as node replication attacks. It shows that the proposed method has more detection probability and consumes less energy than the existing distributed approach.
