Abstract

Underwater wireless sensor network (UWSN) has become popular because of its diverse applications and massive improvements in sensing technologies in recent years. However, this sensor network is vulnerable to various types of cyber-attacks due to its inherent characteristics. Among many cyber-attacks, the Sybil attack is one of the fatal attacks and damages the network severely. In this work, we have proposed a blockchain-based Sybil attack detection scheme in UWSN. We have also integrated one of our previous trust model with the blockchain-based method to make it resilient against the attacks detection. We have conducted an experimented in Flask and discussed the implementation with code details.
