Outlier detection techniques for wireless sensor networks: A survey
In the field of wireless sensor networks, those measurements that significantly deviate from the normal pattern of sensed data are considered as outliers. The potential sources of outliers include noise and errors, events, and malicious attacks on the network. Traditional outlier detection techniques are not directly applicable to wireless sensor networks due to the nature of sensor data and specific requirements and limitations of the wireless sensor networks. This survey provides a comprehensive overview of existing outlier detection techniques specifically developed for the wireless sensor networks. Additionally, it presents a technique-based taxonomy and a comparative table to be used as a guideline to select a technique suitable for the application at hand based on characteristics such as data type, outlier type, outlier identity, and outlier degree
Outlier Detection Techniques For Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey
In the field of wireless sensor networks, measurements that
significantly deviate from the normal pattern of sensed data are
considered as outliers. The potential sources of outliers include
noise and errors, events, and malicious attacks on the network.
Traditional outlier detection techniques are not directly
applicable to wireless sensor networks due to the multivariate
nature of sensor data and specific requirements and limitations of
the wireless sensor networks. This survey provides a comprehensive
overview of existing outlier detection techniques specifically
developed for the wireless sensor networks. Additionally, it
presents a technique-based taxonomy and a decision tree to be used
as a guideline to select a technique suitable for the application
at hand based on characteristics such as data type, outlier type,
outlier degree
Malicious node detection using machine learning and distributed data storage using blockchain in WSNs
In the proposed work, blockchain is implemented on the Base Stations (BSs) and Cluster Heads (CHs) to register the nodes using their credentials and also to tackle various security issues. Moreover, a Machine Learning (ML) classifier, termed as Histogram Gradient Boost (HGB), is employed on the BSs to classify the nodes as malicious or legitimate. In case, the node is found to be malicious, its registration is revoked from the network. Whereas, if a node is found to be legitimate, then its data is stored in an Interplanetary File System (IPFS). IPFS stores the data in the form of chunks and generates hash for the data, which is then stored in blockchain. In addition, Verifiable Byzantine Fault Tolerance (VBFT) is used instead of Proof of Work (PoW) to perform consensus and validate transactions. Also, extensive simulations are performed using the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) dataset, referred as WSN-DS. The proposed model is evaluated both on the original dataset and the balanced dataset. Furthermore, HGB is compared with other existing classifiers, Adaptive Boost (AdaBoost), Gradient Boost (GB), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Extreme Gradient Boost (XGB) and ridge, using different performance metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, micro-F1 score and macro-F1 score. The performance evaluation of HGB shows that it outperforms GB, AdaBoost, LDA, XGB and Ridge by 2-4%, 8-10%, 12-14%, 3-5% and 14-16%, respectively. Moreover, the results with balanced dataset are better than those with original dataset. Also, VBFT performs 20-30% better than PoW. Overall, the proposed model performs efficiently in terms of malicious node detection and secure data storage. © 2013 IEEE

IoT trust and reputation: a survey and taxonomy
IoT is one of the fastest-growing technologies and it is estimated that more
than a billion devices would be utilized across the globe by the end of 2030.
To maximize the capability of these connected entities, trust and reputation
among IoT entities is essential. Several trust management models have been
proposed in the IoT environment; however, these schemes have not fully
addressed the IoT devices features, such as devices role, device type and its
dynamic behavior in a smart environment. As a result, traditional trust and
reputation models are insufficient to tackle these characteristics and
uncertainty risks while connecting nodes to the network. Whilst continuous
study has been carried out and various articles suggest promising solutions in
constrained environments, research on trust and reputation is still at its
infancy. In this paper, we carry out a comprehensive literature review on
state-of-the-art research on the trust and reputation of IoT devices and
systems. Specifically, we first propose a new structure, namely a new taxonomy,
to organize the trust and reputation models based on the ways trust is managed.
The proposed taxonomy comprises of traditional trust management-based systems
and artificial intelligence-based systems, and combine both the classes which
encourage the existing schemes to adapt these emerging concepts. This
collaboration between the conventional mathematical and the advanced ML models
result in design schemes that are more robust and efficient. Then we drill down
to compare and analyse the methods and applications of these systems based on
community-accepted performance metrics, e.g. scalability, delay,
cooperativeness and efficiency. Finally, built upon the findings of the
analysis, we identify and discuss open research issues and challenges, and
further speculate and point out future research directions.Comment: 20 pages, 5 Figures, 3 tables, Journal of cloud computin
