| Summary: | With the advancement of IPv6 technology, many nodes in wireless sensor networks realize seamless connections with the Internet via IPv6 addresses. Security issues are a significant obstacle to the widespread adoption of IPv6 technology. Resource-constrained IPv6 nodes face dual attacks: local and Internet-based. Moreover, constructing an active cyber defense system for IPv6-based wireless sensor networks is difficult. In this article, we propose a K -nearest neighbor-based intrusion detection mechanism and design a secure network framework. This mechanism trains an intrusion detection algorithm using a feature data set to create a normal profile. The intrusion detection algorithm uses the normal profile to perform real-time detection of network traffic data to achieve rapid detections connecting many devices in a wireless sensor network. In addition, we develop a test platform to verify this mechanism. Experimental results show that this mechanism is appropriate for IPv6-based wireless sensor networks and achieves a low false-positive rate and good intrusion detection accuracy at an acceptable resource cost. |
