Security in wireless sensor networks

Recent advances in electronics and wireless communication technologies have enabled the development of large-scale wireless sensor networks that consist of many low-power, low-cost, and small-size sensor nodes. Sensor networks hold the promise of facilitating large-scale and real-time data processing in complex environments. Security is critical for many sensor network applications, such as military target tracking and security monitoring. To provide security and privacy to small sensor nodes is challenging, due to the limited capabilities of sensor nodes in terms of computation, communication, memory/storage, and energy supply. In this article we survey the state of the art in research on sensor network security.     

A Delay-Aware Wireless Sensor Network Routing Protocol for Industrial Applications

With the rapid development of information communication technologies, industrial manufacturing environments and requirements have changed considerably. Since wireless sensor networks have become more and more popular, our production chains have improved with respect to efficiency, flexibility and security. On the other hand, building a secure, robust and fast network is an essential issue for enterprises. In the past, few experts focused on this issue of industrial applications and most of solutions proposed are not suitable for industrial environments. In this paper, we propose a real-time routing protocol for mobile wireless sensor nodes in industrial environments, which offers superior quality of service in terms of delay time. We use geographic routing and information contained in the nodes routing table to extract location information. Then we calculate the node which is nearest to the target node to reduce hop counts and achieve fast data package transfers. It optimizes the packets forwarding hops, which in turn reduces the delay time effectively. We used OPNET to analyze our protocol and results indicate that this algorithm is useful and suitable for wireless sensor networks     

The Energy-Aware Operational Time of Wireless Ad-Hoc Sensor Networks

Sensor networks are deployed in numerous military and civil applications, such as remote target detection, weather monitoring, weather forecast, natural resource exploration and disaster management. Despite having many potential applications, wireless sensor networks still face a number of challenges due to their particular characteristics that other wireless networks, like cellular networks or mobile ad hoc networks do not have. The most difficult challenge of the design of wireless sensor networks is the limited energy resource of the battery of the sensors. This limited resource restricts the operational time that wireless sensor networks can function in their applications. Routing protocols play a major part in the energy efficiency of wireless sensor networks because data communication dissipates most of the energy resource of the networks. This paper studies the importance of considering neighboring nodes in the energy efficiency routing problem. After showing that the routing problem that considers the remaining energy of all sensor nodes is NP-complete, heuristics are proposed for the problem. Simulation results show that the routing algorithm that considers the remaining energy of all sensor nodes improves the system lifetime significantly compared to that of minimum transmission energy algorithms. Also, the energy dissipation of neighboring nodes accounts for a considerable amount of the total energy dissipation. Therefore, a method that reduces the energy dissipation by notifying the neighboring nodes to turn off their radio when not necessary is proposed. By reducing the unnecessary energy dissipation of the neighbors, the lifetime is increased significantly.

A secure mobile healthcare system using trust-based multicast scheme

Due to the introduction of telecommunication technologies in telemedicine services, the expeditious development of wireless and mobile networks has stimulated wide applications of mobile electronic healthcare systems. However, security is an essential system requirement since many patients have privacy concerns when it comes to releasing their personal information over the open wireless channels. For this reason, this study discusses the characteristics and security issues with wireless and pervasive data communications for a ubiquitous and mobile healthcare system which consists of a number of mobile devices and sensors attached to a patient. These devices form a mobile ad hoc sensor network and collect data that are sent to a hospital or healthcare center for monitoring. Subsequently, this paper discusses the innovation and design of a novel trust evaluation model. We then propose a secure multicast strategy that employs trust in order to evaluate the behavior of each node, so that only trustworthy nodes are allowed to participate in communications, while the misbehavior of malicious nodes is effectively prevented. We analyze the security properties of our multicast scheme and evaluate its performance based on simulation experiments. Our experimental results demonstrate that our scheme not only achieves the necessary data transmission in mobile environments, but also provides more security with reasonably little additional overhead.
