Intrusions detection is one of the major issues that worry organizations in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Many researchers have dealt with this problem and have proposed many methods for detecting different kinds of intrusions such as selective forwarding, which is a serious attack that may obstruct communications in WSNs. However, as the applications of mobile computing, vehicular networks, and internet of things (IoT) are spreading immensely, selective forwarding detection in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSNs) has become a key demand. This paper introduces the problem of selective forwarding in MWSNs, and discusses how available techniques for mitigation this problem in WSNs are not applicable in handling the problem in MWSNs due to sensors mobility. Therefore, the paper proposes a model that provides a global monitoring capability for tracing moving sensors and detecting malicious ones. The model leverages the infrastructure of Fog Computing to achieve this purpose. Furthermore, the paper provides a complete algorithm, a comprehensive discussion and experiments that show the correctness and importance of the proposed approach.
