Abstract
Sensor networks enable a wide range of applications
in both military and civilian domains. However, the
deployment scenarios, the functionality requirements,
and the limited capabilities of these networks expose
them to a wide-range of attacks against control traffic
(such as wormholes, Sybil attacks, rushing attacks,
etc). In this paper we propose a lightweight protocol
called DICAS that mitigates these attacks by detecting,
diagnosing, and isolating the malicious nodes. DICAS
uses as a fundamental building block the ability of a
node to oversee its neighboring nodes
