Intrusion Detection System for Wireless Sensor Networks (IDS for WSN)

[kaoutar]

Hello, 

Does anyone know how i can make an IDS for a WSN, using a Labview application or any other available application ? 

I don't know how to start, analyzing timestamps ? ARP ? 

Thank you

it s not the same thing! here, is about system security!

Kaoutar,

I am a little bit confused about where you think the system is possibly going to be penetrated? If you could explain the scope and what you are trying to protect against a bit more that would be helpful.

hi sir, thank you for answering!

well,I have a system of nodes (NI WSN 3212, 3202 and 9791) communicating with each others, what I m trying to do is protecting the informations shared in the network from an extern hacker-node...all I know is that  this can be done using the IDS, but I don't know how to start or how to implement it

Kaoutar,

Sorry, I am still a little confused about what exactly you are trying to do. Are you trying to make it so only you have access to the network shared variables that are posted by the WSN? If so what application do you want to have access to the variables? Also what do you mean by an "extern hacker-node"?

[kaoutar]

the communication I want to allow in my system is only between the first node and the gateway, in case there is an other node trying to communicate with the gateway, I want to stop it from doing so, and consider it as a hacker or an intrusion

Kaoutar,

If you are only worried about other nodes trying to communicate with your gateway I dont think you should have any issue. In order to communicate between a node and a gateway the node needs to be added to the gateway see step 1 in the following KB http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/88B2957808343185862575EC00120872. So unless you add the node it will not communicate with your gateway. Is this all that you are concerned about? If so I think you should also check out this example.

Let me know if this is not correct.
