A number of protocols have been developed to mitigate the threat against wireless sensor networks of an attacker finding nodes, compromising them, and using these nodes to eavesdrop or undermine the operation of the network. A more dangerous threat that has received less attention, however, is that of replica nodes, in which the attacker compromises a node, extracts its keying materials, and produces...
The term entanglement is used in quantum theory to describe the way that particles of energy/matter can become correlated and predictably interact with each other regardless of how far apart they are. In future quantum entanglement will dominate the way we look at information, the way we communicate secretly and the way our computers do their things. Much current research is focusing on how to harness...
Relaying data with the help of mobile elements seems an effective way to bridge the gaps in sparse sensor networks. In this paper, we propose the Voronoi-diagram-based mobile element scheduling (VDMES) algorithm to construct the shortest possible path for mobile elements. The mobile elements are scheduled to visit a small subset of Voronoi vertices rather than the sensor nodes, which is carefully...
Tracking multiple deformable objects simultaneously in a video is a challenging problem. The tracking is more difficult when the objects are touching each other while they are moving or suddenly appear in or disappear from a frame of the video. In this paper we propose a parametric active membrane, which can change its topology to detect and track multiple objects present in the video. The membrane...
Hierarchical MIPv6 (HMIPv6) is proposed to improve the system performance of mobile IPv6 (MIPv6). However, HMIPv6 cannot outperform MIPv6 in all scenarios because of its double-registration when a user roams across regions and the longer packet delivery latency. Therefore, to select a proper mobility management scheme between MIPv6 and HMIPv6 becomes an interesting issue, for its potentials in enhancing...
