Framework for Secure Wireless Communication in Wireless Sensor Networks

A Secure Routing Algorithm for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

Recently, underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) attracted the interest of many researchers and the past three decades have held the rapid progress of underwater acoustic communication. One of the major problems in UWSNs is how to transfer data from the mobile node to the base stations and choosing the optimized route for data transmission. Secure routing in UWSNs is necessary for packet d...

A secure communication framework for wireless sensor networks

A Secure Framework for Wireless Sensor Networks

A large disadvantage to sensor networks in factory environments is the cost of running wire, which ranges from $40 to $2000 per foot. The economical advantages of wireless sensor networks is obvious, yet current security frameworks fail to address the complete threat scenarios, and focus on specific threats such as eavesdropping and unauthorized connections. Current proposals ignore the threats...

Forward Secure Communication in Wireless Sensor Networks

We propose a set of security provisions for node to base station communication in wireless sensor networks. It supports standard security requirements, viz. authentication of the origin of data and confidentiality of data. Additionally we use key evolution to achieve forward security which is of particular importance in the face of node capture attacks. As a bonus we obtain implicit weak freshn...

Quasi Random Deployment Strategy for Reliable Communication Backbones in Wireless Sensor Networks

Topology construction and topology maintenance are significant sub-problems of topology control. Spanning tree based algorithms for topology control are basically transmission range based type construction algorithms. The construction of an effective backbone, however, is indirectly related to the placement of nodes. Also, the dependence of network reliability on the communication path undertak...
