This document describes a proposed secure scheme against power exhausting attacks in wireless sensor networks. The scheme aims to develop an energy-efficient approach to counter denial-of-sleep attacks, which can significantly shorten the lifetime of wireless sensor networks. It proposes a cross-layer design that integrates a media access control protocol in a secure manner. Analyses show the scheme can effectively counter replay and forge attacks while conserving energy. The design balances energy savings with security requirements for wireless sensor networks.

A Secure Scheme Against Power Exhausting Attacks
in Hierarchical Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract
Security and energy efficiency are critical concerns in wireless sensor network (WSN) design.
This paper aims to develop an energy-efficient secure scheme against power exhausting attacks,
especially the denial-of-sleep attacks, which can shorten the lifetime of WSNs rapidly. Although
various media access control (MAC) protocols have been proposed to save the power and extend
the lifetime of WSNs, the existing designs of MAC protocol are insufficient to protect the WSNs
from denial of- sleep attacks in MAC layer. This is attributed to the fact that the well-known
security mechanisms usually awake the sensor nodes before these nodes are allowed to execute
the security processes. Therefore, the practical design is to simplify the authenticating process in
order to reduce the energy consumption of sensor nodes and enhance the performance of the
MAC protocol in countering the power exhausting attacks. This paper proposes a cross-layer
design of secure scheme integrating the MAC protocol. The analyses show that the proposed
scheme can counter the replay attack and forge attack in an energy-efficient way. The detailed
analysis of energy distribution shows a reasonable decision rule of coordination between energy
conservation and security requirements for WSNs.
