This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a new scheme called weighted-based voting to overcome the problem of "badmouthing" attacks in wireless sensor networks with multipath routing. Badmouthing occurs when malicious nodes fail to drop packets even after knowing the packet was already delivered. The weighted-based voting protocol assigns weights based on success rates to identify trusted nodes. It uses weighted voting to make multipath routing decisions and remove malicious nodes detected by a distributed intrusion detection system based on votes from random voter nodes. The goal is to maximize network lifetime while satisfying quality of service requirements in heterogeneous wireless sensor networks.
