PERFORMANCE AND IMPACT ANALYSIS OF SPIN PROTOCOL UNDER SYBIL ATTACK

Wireless sensor network is an emerging field of research and has attracted a lot of researchers because of its applicability in remote and hostile environments. Since wireless sensor networks communicate over an open wireless medium on specified radio frequencies, they are prone to interference as well as attacks. The intent of our study is to investigate the security of SPIN (Sensor protocol for Information via negotiation) protocol under active routing attack called Sybil attack. This paper summ arizes the performance of SPIN under ideal conditions and under Sybil attack
