Abstract
The objective of this study is to find an optimal defensive strategy for an intrusion detection system (IDS) with respect to threats launched by the malicious attackers for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), and allows the IDS to choose its optimal control strategies over time. Meanwhile, we obtain the optimal control strategies of the IDS and the attackers to optimize their objectives, respectively. Theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate that our security model can effectively decrease the number of attackers in WSNs.
