Abstract

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), malicious nodes can infiltrate the network at any time, compromising network performance. Developing a secure routing protocol is critical for ensuring reliable data transmission. LEACH (Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) is a well-established hierarchical routing protocol within the WSN paradigm. However, LEACH lacks robustness against security attacks due to the absence of integrated security mechanisms, making it vulnerable in the presence of malicious nodes. On the other hand, Blockchain, an emerging technology, is best suited for Wireless Sensor Networks due to its distributed, decentralized, immutable, and traceability features. Integrating blockchain with WSNs significantly enhances security, data integrity, and decentralization within the network. Integrating blockchain technology with WSNs significantly enhances security, data integrity, and decentralization within the network. In this paper, we introduce a Blockchain-enabled secure LEACH protocol to ensure reliable data transmission in wireless sensor networks. The proposed hybrid blockchain framework includes three phases: Registration, Authentication, and Malicious Node Detection. By utilizing the autonomous execution capabilities of smart contracts without third-party intervention, we develop specific smart contracts for the registration of cluster heads and ordinary nodes, for authentication between cluster heads and their corresponding ordinary nodes, and for the identification and elimination of malicious cluster head nodes. A detailed security analysis of the proposed BSLEACH framework is provided to provide its robustness against different network attacks such as Man-in-the-Middle attack, Sybil attack, Replay attack and non-repudiation.In performance evaluation, it is observed that the proposed Blockchain-based Secured LEACH (BSLEACH) protocol outperforms other versions of LEACH such as Sleach (Secure low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy) and Ms-leach (A routing protocol combining multi-hop transmissions and Single-hop transmissions) in the presence of malicious cluster heads and Sybil nodes in the network. The proposed solution improves the performance of the traditional LEACH protocol by identifying and removing malicious Cluster head units from the Private Blockchain network.

基于区块链的安全 LEACH 协议(BSLEACH)
在无线传感器网络(WSN)中,恶意节点可能随时潜入网络,从而影响网络性能。开发一个安全的路由协议对于确保可靠的数据传输至关重要。LEACH(低能量自适应分层聚类)是 WSN 范例中一种成熟的分层路由协议。然而,由于缺乏集成的安全机制,LEACH 缺乏抵御安全攻击的鲁棒性,在恶意节点存在时很容易受到攻击。另一方面,区块链作为一种新兴技术,具有分布式、去中心化、不可变和可追溯等特点,最适合无线传感器网络。将区块链与 WSN 相结合,可大大增强网络内的安全性、数据完整性和分散性。将区块链技术与 WSN 相结合可大大增强网络的安全性、数据完整性和去中心化。在本文中,我们介绍了一种支持区块链的安全 LEACH 协议,以确保无线传感器网络中数据传输的可靠性。所提出的混合区块链框架包括三个阶段:注册、认证和恶意节点检测。通过利用智能合约无需第三方干预的自主执行能力,我们开发了特定的智能合约,用于簇头和普通节点的注册、簇头与其对应的普通节点之间的身份验证以及恶意簇头节点的识别和消除。对所提出的 BSLEACH 框架进行了详细的安全分析,以提供其对不同网络攻击(如中间人攻击、假冒者攻击、复制攻击和不可否认性攻击)的鲁棒性。在性能评估中可以看到,在网络中存在恶意簇头和假冒节点的情况下,所提出的基于区块链的安全 LEACH(BSLEACH)协议优于其他版本的 LEACH,如 Sleach(安全低能耗自适应聚类层次结构)和 Ms-leach(结合多跳传输和单跳传输的路由协议)。所提出的解决方案通过识别并移除私有区块链网络中的恶意簇头单元,提高了传统 LEACH 协议的性能。
