Sybil attack is a special kind of attack which is difficult to be detected in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). So a lightweight detection mechanism based on LEACH-RSSI-ID (LRD) is proposed in this paper. Due to the characteristic of Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol, none of nodes can be the cluster head forever.
