Wireless sensor network security defense strategy based on Bayesian reputation evaluation model

Abstract In order to solve the security problems caused by malicious nodes in wireless sensor networks, a TS‐BRS reputation model based on time series analysis is proposed in this paper. By using the time series analysis method, the matching analysis of two time series is carried out to reduce the interference of channel conflicts on the reputation evaluation model and improve the accuracy of model recognition. In order to improve the adaptability of the evaluation model, the adaptive maintenance function μ is introduced into the update of credit value, which aggravates the influence of node behaviour on credit value at the present stage. The simulation results show that the new reputation evaluation model can effectively improve the detection rate and detection speed of malicious nodes in the network. After the introduction of maintenance function, the reputation value of the captured malicious nodes in the network has a faster convergence speed.
