An Outline of Security in Wireless Sensor Networks: Threats, Countermeasures and Implementations

With the expansion of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the need for securing the data flow through these networks is increasing. These sensor networks allow for easy-to-apply and flexible installations which have enabled them to be used for numerous applications. Due to these properties, they face distinct information security threats. Security of the data flowing through across networks provides the researchers with an interesting and intriguing potential for research. Design of these networks to ensure the protection of data faces the constraints of limited power and processing resources. We provide the basics of wireless sensor network security to help the researchers and engineers in better understanding of this applications field. In this chapter, we will provide the basics of information security with special emphasis on WSNs. The chapter will also give an overview of the information security requirements in these networks. Threats to the security of data in WSNs and some of their counter measures are also presented

Generalised single valued neutrosophic number and its application to neutrosophic linear programming

In this paper, the concept of single valued neutrosophic number (SV N-number) is presented in a generalized way. Using this notion, a crisp linear programming problem (LP-problem) is extended to a neutrosophic linear programming problem (NLP-problem). The coefficients of the objective function of a crisp LP-problem are considered as generalized single valued neutrosophic number (GSV N -number). This modified form of LP-problem is here called an NLP-problem. An algorithm is developed to solve NLP-problem by simplex method. Finally, this simplex algorithm is applied to a real life problem. The problem is illustrated and solved numerically

QUASI-ONE DIMENSIONAL CLASSICAL FLUIDS

We study the equilibrium statistical mechanics of simple fluids in narrow pores. A systematic expansion is made about a one-dimensional limit of this system. It starts with a density functional, constructed from projected densities, which depends upon projected one and two-body potentials. The nature of higher order corrections is discussed
