Abstract

The network model assumed in this paper consists of tiny, energy-constrained, commodity sensors massively deployed alongside with one or more sink nodes that provide the interface to the outside world. The sensors in the network are initially anonymous and unaware of their location. Our main contribution is to propose a new robust and energy-efficient solution for secure operation of wireless sensor networks. The paper motivates a new paradigm where security is based upon using parameterized frequency hopping and cryptographic keys in a unified framework to provide differential security services for wireless sensor networks.

Recommendations

Secure Coverage Tree Construction Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks

In wireless sensor networks, nodes usually construct tree structure in any monitored area to enable data aggregation and to transmit aggregated data by multi-hopping through neighbors to a remote sink (BS) which results in significant energy savings. ...
Relay Node Placement in Wireless Sensor Networks

A wireless sensor network consists of many low-cost, low-power sensor nodes, which can perform sensing, simple computation, and transmission of sensed information. Long distance transmission by sensor nodes is not energy efficient since energy ...
Sensor scheduling for p-percent coverage in wireless sensor networks

We study sensor scheduling problems of p-percent coverage in this paper and propose two scheduling algorithms to prolong network lifetime due to the fact that for some applications full coverage is not necessary and different subareas of the monitored ...
