Abstract :
We propose a novel mechanism for authentication of flooded queries in sensor networks. Each sensor can verify with certain probability that the query is sent by the base station. Implicit cooperation between sensor nodes during the flooding process ensures that the propagation of fake queries is limited to a small part of the network
