Worm propagation model for honeypot capture and feedback mechanism in wireless sensor networks
Network worms,which rely on fast propagation and self-replication abilities to spread in networks,pose certain threats to networks.In this paper,the classical SIR model is firstly considered,not only regarding the rein-fection problem after node immunization,but also introducing damaged nodes(nodes scanned but not infected by worm propagation)in wireless sensor networks.The model(SDIRS)after incorporating damaged nodes utilizes net-work node characteristics to effectively curb worm propagation at initial stages.Then,the P-SDIRS model is pro-posed,which further combines the honeypot capture mechanism on top of the SDIRS model.In the P-SDIRS model,the basic regeneration number,equilibrium point,and stability are obtained,and model validity is verified through numerical simulation.
