A Survey on Wireless Sensor Network Security
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have recently attracted a lot of interest in
the research community due their wide range of applications. Due to distributed
nature of these networks and their deployment in remote areas, these networks
are vulnerable to numerous security threats that can adversely affect their
proper functioning. This problem is more critical if the network is deployed
for some mission-critical applications such as in a tactical battlefield.
Random failure of nodes is also very likely in real-life deployment scenarios.
Due to resource constraints in the sensor nodes, traditional security
mechanisms with large overhead of computation and communication are infeasible
in WSNs. Security in sensor networks is, therefore, a particularly challenging
task. This paper discusses the current state of the art in security mechanisms
for WSNs. Various types of attacks are discussed and their countermeasures
presented. A brief discussion on the future direction of research in WSN
security is also included.Comment: 24 pages, 4 figures, 2 table
Data Confidentiality in Mobile Ad hoc Networks
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are self-configuring infrastructure-less
networks comprised of mobile nodes that communicate over wireless links without
any central control on a peer-to-peer basis. These individual nodes act as
routers to forward both their own data and also their neighbours' data by
sending and receiving packets to and from other nodes in the network. The
relatively easy configuration and the quick deployment make ad hoc networks
suitable the emergency situations (such as human or natural disasters) and for
military units in enemy territory. Securing data dissemination between these
nodes in such networks, however, is a very challenging task. Exposing such
information to anyone else other than the intended nodes could cause a privacy
and confidentiality breach, particularly in military scenarios. In this paper
we present a novel framework to enhance the privacy and data confidentiality in
mobile ad hoc networks by attaching the originator policies to the messages as
they are sent between nodes. We evaluate our framework using the Network
Simulator (NS-2) to check whether the privacy and confidentiality of the
originator are met. For this we implemented the Policy Enforcement Points
(PEPs), as NS-2 agents that manage and enforce the policies attached to packets
at every node in the MANET.Comment: 12 page
Secure Routing Protocols Comparison Analysis Between RNBR, SAA, A-UPK
The advent of wireless communications and the development of mobile devices have made great strides in the development of roaming communications. The MANET mobile network was developed with the ability for mobile devices to quickly self-configure and extend wireless coverage without infrastructure support. Security is one of the most important areas of research and plays a vital role in determining the success of personal and commercial telephone systems.Therefore, this study focuses on systematically examining MANET security and accountability issues and analyzing the performance of solutions proposed by three different design approaches to security systems.First, it provides an approach for identifying trusted nodes employing the proposed RNBR method for secure routing.it provides a Self-Assured Assessment (SAA) method to estimate node stability. Its main goal is to contribute to a self-assessment-based reliability assessment mechanism that provides a reliable and reliable pathway.it provides a new authentication method to prevent forgery attacks. It supports authentication mechanisms to prevent RF attacks and ensure secure routing development.The main Objective of this paper is compare to packet delivery Ratio ,Control Overhead, Packet Drop Ratio in different secure RNBR,SAA,A-UPK Routing Protocols in MANETS
