SeRA: A Secure Routing Algorithm Against Sinkhole Attacks for Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks

Sinkhole attacks are particularly harmful against routing in wireless sensor networks in which the intruder attempts to lure all traffic towards itself, with false routing information. It gives serious damage to the network load balancing, as well as other types of attacks to provide a platform. So it is very important to prevent and detect this type of attack. In this paper, we present a secure routing algorithm against sinkholes attacks based on mobile agents designed for mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSN) and show how it can be configured to avoid sinkhole attacks.
