A Security Architecture for Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks
This addresses security risks for mobile wireless sensor networks, which are increasingly deployed in various areas, but the approach appears incremental.
The authors tackled the security vulnerabilities in mobile wireless sensor networks by proposing a lightweight security architecture that prevents many attacks and limits the impact of others, demonstrating its applicability through analysis.
Wireless sensor networks increasingly become viable solutions to many challenging problems and will successively be deployed in many areas in the future. However, deploying new technology without security in mind has often proved to be unreasonably dangerous. We propose a security architecture for self-organizing mobile wireless sensor networks that prevents many attacks these networks are exposed to. Furthermore, it limits the security impact of some attacks that cannot be prevented. We analyse our security architecure and show that it provides the desired security aspects while still being a lightweight solution and thus being applicable for self-organizing mobile wireless sensor networks.
