Abstract:Wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs), benefiting from recent breakthrough in wireless power transfer (WPT) technology, emerge as very promising for network lifetime extension. Traditional methods focus on scheduling algorithms and system optimization, and the issue of charging security/threat is ignored, causing it vulnerable to attacks. In this paper, we develop a novel attack for WRSN through Denial of Charge (DoC) aiming at maximizing destructiveness. At first, we form a generalized on-demand charging model, which provides fundamental basis for designing charging attacks. Then a request prediction method (RPM) is introduced for predicting the emergences of charging requests. Afterwards, a Collaborative DoC attacking algorithm (CoDoC) is developed, which tempers/modifies and generates fake charging requests, yielding normal nodes exhausted. Finally, to demonstrate the outperformed features of CoDoC, extensive simulations and test-bed experiments are conducted. The results show that, CoDoC outperforms in making sensor exhausted as well as causing missing events.
