Abstract

Wireless sensor networks are the most vulnerable to all the wireless devices due to the massive damage caused by disrupting these networks. A good number of attacks have been launched in the wireless networks which are prevalent in the antagonist world. However, the most difficult of all the attacks is the identification and prevention of the replication of nodes. The time it takes to identify and isolate a cloned/replicated node is usually greater than any other attack detection techniques due to the similar id and features replicated by the attacker. Elliptical curve cryptography is well known for providing security in wireless networks. This paper explores a property of the ECC that is designed into a full pledged IECC protocol for keeping away replicated nodes from attacking the WSNs and MWSNs. In terms of application, the focus is to secure an industrial area using the IECC mechanism for efficient remote monitoring. Simulation analysis shows that the IECC performs well in static WSN and MWSNs over the existing baseline protocols.
