A witness-based approach for data fusion assurance in wireless sensor networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In wireless sensor networks, sensor nodes are spread randomly over the coverage area to collect information of interest. Data fusion is used to process these collected information before they are sent to the base station, the observer of the sensor network. We study the security of the data fusion process in this work. In particular, we propose a witness-based solution to assure the validation of the data sent from data fusion nodes to the base station. We also present the theoretical analysis for the overhead associated with the mechanism, which indicates that even in an extremely harsh environment the overhead is low for the proposed mechanism.

Achieving Energy Conservation in Wireless Sensor Networks by using WB (Witness-Based) Approach
In this paper, Wireless sensor networks place sensors into an area to get data and send them back to a base station. Data fusion, in which collected data are fused before they are sent to the base station, is usually implemented over the network. Since a sensor is typically placed in locations that are accessible to malicious attackers, information assurance of the data fusion process is very i...
متن کاملOutlier Detection in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Distributed Principal Component Analysis
Detecting anomalies is an important challenge for intrusion detection and fault diagnosis in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). To address the problem of outlier detection in wireless sensor networks, in this paper we present a PCA-based centralized approach and a DPCA-based distributed energy-efficient approach for detecting outliers in sensed data in a WSN. The outliers in sensed data can be ca...

One of the most important issues concerning the sensor data in the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is the unexpected data which are acquired from the sensors. Today, there are numerous approaches for detecting anomalies in the WSNs, most of which are based on machine learning methods. In this research, we present a heuristic method based on the concept of “ensemble of classifiers” of data minin...

متن کاملA multi-hop PSO based localization algorithm for wireless sensor networks
A sensor network consists of a large number of sensor nodes that are distributed in a large geographic environment to collect data. Localization is one of the key issues in wireless sensor network researches because it is important to determine the location of an event. On the other side, finding the location of a wireless sensor node by the Global Positioning System (GPS) is not appropriate du...
