Providing Location Privacy against a Global Adversary in Wireless Sensor Networks ⋆

چکیده
Wireless sensor networks are widely used in our daily life. It consists of various sensors which collect different information containing the identity, status, and location of an object or any other business, social or privately relevant information. But we pay attention to some issues related to sensor’s location privacy. In this paper, we focus on protecting the sensor’s location by introducing suitable modifications to sensor routing to make it difficult for an eavesdropper to find the original location. And we propose a Multi-source and Multi-routing scheme, which is a flexible routing strategy to protect the sensor’s location. Our strategy can efficiently reduce the chance of packets being detected. And the adversary can find it difficult to find the exact location of the source node or the base station.

Location Privacy in Wireless Sensor Networks
The insecure atmospheres makes easy for an adversary to eavesdrop the network in a wireless sensor network. An eclectic collection of protocols are available for providing content privacy but the contextual information remains unprotected. So an adversary can use this contextual information to carry out attack on source node or the sink node in sensor network. The current approaches for locatio...

While many works to date in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) security have focused on providing confidentiality for message contents, contextual information usually remains exposed. Thus the adversary especially the global eavesdropper can easily obtain the sensitive information such as the location of a target object in a monitoring application, which is critical to the mission of the sensor ne...
