Inspired by the biological immune system, many researchers apply artificial immune principles to intrusion detection in wireless sensor networks, such as negative selection algorithms, danger theory, and dendritic cell algorithms. When applying the negative selection algorithm to wireless sensor networks, the characteristics of wireless sensor networks, such as frequent changes in network topology and limited resources, are not considered too much, which makes the detection effect to need improvement. In this paper, a negative selection algorithm based on spatial partition is proposed and applied to hierarchical wireless sensor networks. The algorithm first analyzes the distribution of self-set in the real-valued space then divides the real-valued space, and several subspaces are obtained. Selves are filled into different subspaces. We implement the negative selection algorithm in the subspace. The randomly generated candidate detector only needs to be tolerated with selves in the subspace where the detector is located, not all the selves. This operation reduces the time cost of distance calculation. In the detection process of detectors, the antigen which is to be detected only needs to match the mature detectors in the subspace where the antigen is located, rather than all the detectors. This operation speeds up the antigen detection process. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the algorithm has better time efficiency and quality of detectors, saves sensor node resources and reduces the energy consumption, and is an effective algorithm for wireless sensor network intrusion detection.

Due to the wireless nature of wireless sensor networks (WSN), the network can be deployed in most of the unattended environment, which makes the networks more vulnerable for attackers who may listen to the traffic and inject their own nodes in the sensor network. In our work, we research on a novel machine learning algorithm on intrusion detection based on reinforcement learning (RL) strategy using generative adversarial network (GAN) for WSN which can automatically detect intrusion or malicious attacks into the network. We combine Actor-Critic Algorithm in RL with GAN in a simulated WSN. The GAN is employed as part of RL environment to generate fake data with possible attacks, which is similar to the real data generated by the sensor networks. Its main aim is to confuse the adversarial network into differentiating between the real and fake data with possible attacks. The results that is from the experiments are based on environment of GAN and Network Simulator 3 (NS3) illustrate that Actor-Critic&GAN algorithm enhances security of the simulated WSN by protecting the networks data against adversaries and improves on the accuracy of the detection.
