Shraddha Sarode . Review of Machine Learning Techniques for Detection of Routing Attacks in Wireless Sensor Network. International Journal of Computer Applications. 183, 27 ( Sep 2021), 30-34. DOI=10.5120/ijca2021921657
Wireless sensor networks are widely applied in many fields like transportation, urban terrain tracking, healthcare, precision agriculture, etc. However, this deployment has introduced new security concerns. These security concerns involve two kinds of attacks on wireless sensor networks active and passive. Passive attacks are launched to observe the network without disrupting network functionality. Active attacks can disrupt the function of the network and can be initiated on layers of communication protocol. Active attacks that are related to network layer routing attacks are presented. For the last decade, machine learning algorithms have been used in many important applications, including detection of routing attacks. The objective of this paper is to review machine learning algorithms that can be used to detect routing attacks in wireless sensor networks. In this paper, evaluation parameters and challenges of applying machine learning algorithms in wireless sensor networks are also discussed. These challenges can serve as potential future research directions.
