Compromised sensor nodes may collude to segregate a specific region of the sensor network preventing event reporting packets in this region from reaching the basestation. Additionally, they can cause skepticism over all data collected. Identifying and segregating such compromised nodes while identifying the type of attack with a certain confidence is critical to the smooth functioning of a sensor...
In wireless sensor networks, communication signal strength weakens as the distance between sensors increases, which increases the tendency for transmitted packets to be lost. This paper provides a novel method of incorporating the hopping capability of a sensor to increase its communication range, which results in increased connectivity and sensed coverage area. Furthermore, jump heights can be manipulated...
Many efforts have been devoted to maximizing network throughput in a multi-channel multi-radio wireless mesh network. Current solutions are based on either pure static or pure dynamic channel allocation approaches. In this paper, we propose a hybrid multi-channel multi-radio wireless mesh networking architecture, where each mesh node has both static and dynamic interfaces. We first present an Adaptive...
Side channel attacks are non-invasive attacks in which adversaries gain confidential information by passively observing the target computing device. Sensor nodes are particularly vulnerable to side channel attacks due to the lack of protective physical shielding and their deployment in open environments. As sensor nodes are increasingly being deployed in safety critical applications such as power...
Security is one of the top concerns when sensors are deployed in hostile environments for military applications. Attacks on sensor nodes can be categorized into two types: attacks through radio signals to alter the functionalities of sensors and physical attacks; which may completely damage sensors. We show that the former is easier to launch and more disguised, thus more hazardous. The layered framework...
