| Abstract |

In wireless sensor networks, clustering sensor nodes into
small groups is an effective technique to achieve scalability,
self-organization, power saving, channel access, routing, etc.
A number of cluster formation protocols have been proposed
recently. However, most existing protocols assume benign
environments, and are vulnerable to attacks from malicious
nodes. In this paper, we propose a secure distributed cluster
formation protocol to organize sensor networks into mutually
disjoint cliques. Our protocol has the following properties:
(1) normal nodes are divided into mutually disjoint cliques;
(2) all the normal nodes in each clique agree on the same
clique memberships; (3) while external attackers can be prevented
from participating in the cluster formation process,
inside attackers that do not follow the protocol semantics can
be identified and removed from the network; (4) the communication
overhead is moderate; (5) the protocol is fully distributed.
