Abstract
Nowadays with the wide range of applications in wireless sensor networks, there is an increasing need for security of these networks. These networks have been subjected to numerous attacks among which Sinkhole attack is one of the notable ones. In Sinkhole attack, sometimes the adversary node poses itself as a fake base station (BS) and receives all data of the network. It prevents data from reaching the main BS, or changes the
