Abstract
This paper presents a model for ensuring data integrity using anomalous node identification in non-homogeneous wireless sensor networks (WSNs). We propose the anomaly detection technique while collecting data using mobile data collectors (MDCs), which detect the malicious activities before sending to the base station (BS). Our technique also protects the leader nodes (LNs) from malicious activities to ensure data integrity between the MDC and the LNs. The proposed approach learns the data characteristics from each sensor node and passes it to the MDC, where detection engine identifies the victim node and eventually alarm the LNs in order to keep the normal behaviour in the network. Our empirical evidence shows the effectiveness our approach.
