Abstract: Wormhole attacks destroy the network topology, routing discovery and resource allocation in ZigBee network. A wormhole attack detection scheme was proposed, based on the definition of wormhole node, explicit wormhole node and implicit wormhole node. The scheme marked wormhole nodes by judging the matching between neighborhood and communication radius. On this basis, the scheme designed a type recognition mechanism of wormhole nodes. Safety analysis and experiment results show that the scheme detects wormhole attacks effectively with low communication overhead and computation cost.

Key words: ZigBee network, wormhole attacks, wormhole node type, communication time challenge
