M134. Security solutions for Wireless Sensor Networks
1. Project theme
Wireless Sensor Networks are used in critical domains such as medical monitoring, homeland security, industrial automation and military applications, therefore it is very important to protect the network against malicious attacks.
This project aims at developing a new security protocol that provides conversation authentication, integrity, intrusion prevention and anti‐replay protection.
2. Obiectives
- Designing a security protocol that provides authentication, anti-replay, integrity and intrusion prevention
- Implementing the protocol in TinyOS
- Testing the protocol in various test scenarios using TOSSIM
- Extending the protocol to include reliability
- Implement reliability improvements
- Test protocol improvements
- Minimize the energy consumption introduced by the protocol
