| description | <p>Underwater communication networks face numerous challenges, including routing, signal interference, energy consumption, and security threats. Although routing protocols are optimized for resilience against common disturbances in underwater environments, they are not specifically designed to counter attacks or malicious neighbor nodes. Key security threat factors in underwater sensor networks include limited power sources, constrained communication media, and harsh underwater conditions. Therefore, this research aims to develop a secure communication model resistant to routing attacks in underwater sensor networks. Two communication link models were considered: Scenario 1 uses a basic distance-based model, while Scenario 2 employs a probabilistic channel gain model between node pairs. Simulation results encompass four stages: 1) secure neighbor discovery under wormhole attacks; 2) initial route discovery and selection of reliable nodes for data forwarding to the sink; 3) attack detection during data distribution based on node status information for identifying Sybil attacks; 4) alternative secure path discovery for detecting malicious nodes. The proposed scheme demonstrated higher success rates compared to the basic approach and lower mobility energy costs, achieving comparable success performance.</p> |
