Visualisation of wormholes in underwater sensor networks: a distributed approach

: We propose a distributed mechanism, Dis-VoW, to detect wormhole attacks in under-water sensor networks. In Dis-VoW, every sensor reconstructs local network layout using multi-dimensional scaling. It detects the wormholes by visualising the distortions in edge lengths and angles among neighbouring sensors. The contributions include:
