Abstract
Military tasks constitute the most important and significant applications of WSNs. In military, Sensor node deployment increases activities, efficient operation, saves loss of life, and protects national sovereignty. Usually, the main difficulties in military missions are energy consumption and security in the network. Another major security issues are hacking or masquerade attack. To overcome the limitations, the proposed method modified DBSCAN with OSPREY optimization Algorithm (OOA) using hybrid classifier Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) with Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBOOST) to detect attack types in the WSN military sector for enhancing security. First, nodes are deployed and modified DBSCAN algorithm is used to cluster the nodes to reduce energy consumption. To select the cluster head optimally by using the OSPREY optimization Algorithm (OOA) based on small distance and high energy for transfer data between the base station and nodes. Hybrid LSTM-XGBOOST classifier utilized to learn the parameter and predict the four assault types such as scheduling, flooding, blackhole and grayhole assault. Classification and network metrics including Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Throughput, Average Residual Energy (ARE), Packet Loss Ratio (PLR), Accuracy and F1_score are used to evaluate the performance of the model. Performance results show that PDR of 94.12%, 3.2 Mbps throughput at 100 nodes, ARE of 8.94J, PLR of 5.88%, accuracy of 96.14%, and F1_score of 95.04% are achieved. Hence, the designed model for assault prediction types in WSN based on modified DBSCAN clustering with a hybrid classifier yields better results.
