Position verification in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is quite tricky in\npresence of attackers (malicious sensor nodes), who try to break the\nverification protocol by reporting their incorrect positions (locations) during\nthe verification stage. In the literature of WSNs, most of the existing methods\nof position verification have used trusted verifiers, which are in fact\nvulnerable to attacks by malicious nodes. They also depend on some distance\nestimation techniques, which are not accurate in noisy channels (mediums). In\nthis article, we propose a secure position verification scheme for WSNs in\nnoisy channels without relying on any trusted entities. Our verification scheme\ndetects and filters out all malicious nodes from the network with very high\nprobability.\n
