Abstract
Sensor webs consisting of nodes with limited battery power and wireless communication are deployed to collect useful information from a variety of environments. A new challenge in the wireless sensor networks (WSN) is the compromised nodes problem. Compromised nodes may exhibit arbitrary behavior and may collude with other compromised nodes. In this paper, we propose a novel security strategy with assistant cluster heads, SSACH, which focuses on limiting the attack from compromised nodes. It adds the Assistant Cluster Heads (ACH) so as to monitor Cluster Head (CH) and take precautions against the inside attack.
