Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are susceptible
to most security attacks. There are some limitations such as
reliability, energy eciency, and scalability, which affect sensor
nodes. These limitations mostly affect the security of wireless
networks. Also, limited capacity of sensor nodes accounts for the
security attacks on WSNs. Applications such as military
surveillance, trac surveillance, healthcare, and environmental
monitoring are impacted by security attacks. Hence, researchers
have created various types of detection approaches against such
attacks. Selective forwarding attack is an example of an attack
that is not easily detected particularly in the networks layer. In
this type of attack, malicious nodes function in the same way as
other nodes in the networks. However, it tries to drops the
sensitive information prior to transferring the packet to other
sensor node. In this paper, we proposed a new approach for
detecting and monitoring selective forwarding attacks in wireless
sensor networks. The new approach guaranteed to keep the data
transferring between nodes safely.
