Security in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is an upcoming research field which is quite different from traditional network security mechanisms. Many applications are dependent on the secure operation of a WSN, and have serious effects if the network is disrupted. Therefore, it is necessary to protect communication between sensor nodes. Key management plays an essential role in achieving security in WSNs. To achieve security, various key predistribution schemes have been proposed in the literature. A secure key management technique in WSN is a real challenging task. In this paper, a novel approach to the above problem by making use of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is presented. In the proposed scheme, a seed key, which is a distinct point in an elliptic curve, is assigned to each sensor node prior to its deployment. The private key ring for each sensor node is generated using the point doubling mathematical operation over the seed key. When two nodes share a common private key, then a link is established between these two nodes. By suitably choosing the value of the prime field and key ring size, the probability of two nodes sharing the same private key could be increased. The performance is evaluated in terms of connectivity and resilience against node capture. The results show that the performance is better for the proposed scheme with ECC compared to the other basic schemes.

무선 센서 네트워크(Wireless Sensor Network, WSN)는 작고 값이 싸지만 매우 제한된 자원을 가진 많은 수의 센서로 구성된다. 이러한 자원의 부종으로 인하여 공개키 암호화방식은 WSN에 사용하기 적합하지 않으며, 비밀키 암호화방식을 적용시키기 위하여는 키 관리와 선분배 기법이 필요하다. 많은 키 선분배 기법이 제안되었지만 대부분의 이러한 기법은 실제 WSN의 환경을 충분히 고려하지 않고 있다. 이 논문에서는 적당한 통신량과 연결을 고려한 WSN을 위하여 계층적 그리드(Grid)를 기반으로 하는 보안 프레임워크를 제안한다. 프레임워크의 보안성을 검증하기 위하여 간단한 키 개체 분배 기법을 적용하였으며, WSN에서 가능한 보안 위협에 대하여 분석하였다.

The wireless sensor network (WSN) is well known for an enabling technology for the ubiquitous environment such as real-time surveillance system, habitat monitoring, home automation and healthcare applications. However, the WSN featuring wireless communication through air, a resource constraints device and irregular network topology, is threatened by malicious nodes such as eavesdropping, forgery, illegal modification or denial of services. For this reason, security in the WSN is key factor for utilizing the sensor network into the commercial way. There is a series of symmetric cryptography proposed by laboratory or industry for a long time. Among of them, recently proposed HUMMINGBIRD algorithm, motivated by the design of the well-known Enigma machine, is much more suitable to resource constrained devices, including smart card, sensor node and RFID tags in terms of computational complexity and block size. It also provides resistance to the most common attacks such as linear and differential cryptanalysis. In this paper, we implements ultra-lightweight cryptography, HUMMINGBIRD algorithm into the resource constrained device, sensor node as a perfectly customized design of sensor node.

Wireless sensor networks(WSN) technology has various applications such as surveillance and information gathering in the uncontrollable area of human. One of major issues in WSN is the research for reducing the energy consumption and reliability of data. A system with forward error correction(FEC) can provide an objective reliability while using less transmission power than a system without FEC. In this paper, we propose to use LDPC codes of various code rate(0.53, 0.81, 0.91) for FEC for WSN. Also, we considered node-to-node interference in addition to AWGN channel. The proposed system has not only high reliable data transmission at low SNR, but also reduced transmission power usage.

무선통신을 기반으로 하는 WSN은 통신의 특성상 네트워크보안에 취약점을 가진다. 무선통신의 취약점은 누구나 네트워크에 접근이 가능하다는 것이다. 이에 따라 침입에 강인한 무선 센서 네트워크인 INtrusion-tolerant routing protocol for wireless SEnsor NetworkS(INSENS)가 제안됨으로써 WSN의 초기 라우팅 설정 시 침입하는 공격자를 사전에 차단할 수 있게 되었다. 그러나 라우팅 설정 후에 노드가 공격자에 의해 훼손당하게 된다면, 노드의 주요정보를 이용해 공격자는 또다시 라우팅 공격이 가능해진다. 본 논문에서는 공격자에 의해 훼손된 노드가 라우팅 공격 중 대표적인 공격인 싱크홀 공격 메시지를 방송하였을 때, 페어와이즈 키를 통해 효과적으로 공격메시지를 차단하는 양방향인증기법을 제안한다. 이로써 INSENS에서 발생하는 싱크홀 공격을 차단함으로써 WSN의 보안 강화에 기여한다.

This paper implements a weather monitoring system based on wireless sensor network. The wireless sensor network protocol proposed in this paper adopts a TDMA styled MAC. The protocol is designed to balance the energy consumption among sensor nodes. Other purposes of the protocol are to avoid the hidden terminal problem in 2-hop star topology, and to allow a CSMA styled communication in a given time slot to support emergent messages. Also, this paper develops the hardware of sensor node, gateway and electric generator based on solar and windy energy. The test results on the implemented system show that the time slot of each node is shifted in circular manner to balance the waiting time for transmission, and the reliability of wireless communication is over 99%.

The existence of abnormal breakpoint data leads to poor channel balance in wireless sensor networks (WSN). To enhance the communication quality of WSNs, a method for positioning abnormal breakpoint data in WSNs on the basis of signal reconstruction is studied. The WSN signal is collected using compressed sensing theory; the common part of the associated data set is mined by exchanging common information among the cluster head nodes, and the independent parts are updated within each cluster head node. To solve the non-convergence problem in the distributed computing, the approximate term is introduced into the optimization objective function to make the sub-optimization problem strictly convex. And the decompressed sensing signal reconstruction problem is addressed by the alternating direction multiplier method to realize the distributed signal reconstruction of WSNs. Based on the reconstructed WSN signal, the abnormal breakpoint data is located according to the characteristic information of the cross-power spectrum. The proposed method can accurately acquire and reconstruct the signal, reduce the bit error rate during signal transmission, and enhance the communication quality of the experimental object.

무선 센서 네트워크는 다수의 센서 노드로 구성되며, 센서 노드들의 협력 작업을 통해 하나의 공통 작업을 수행한다. WSN 의 트래픽은 주기적인 모니터링 트래픽, 이벤트 발생 트래픽 및 쿼리 기반 트래픽으로 분류된다. 주기적인 트래픽은 발생 빈도는 낮지만, 다수의 센서노드들이 일정한 간격으로 트래픽을 생성하기 때문에 전체 트래픽 관점에서 볼 때 많은 비중을 차지하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 주기적 트래픽에 대해 에너지 효율적으로 처리하는 네트워크 프로토콜의 트래픽 제어 알고리즘을 제안하고, 이에 대한 성능 분석을 수행한다.

IP-based Wireless Sensor Networks (IP-WSNs) are gaining importance for their broad range of applications in health care, home automation, environmental monitoring, industrial control, vehicle telematics, and agricultural monitoring. In all these applications, a fundamental issue is the mobility in the sensor network, particularly with regards to energy efficiency. Because of the energy inefficiency of network-based mobility management protocols, they can be supported via IP-WSNs. In this paper, we propose a network-based mobility-supported IP-WSN protocol called mSFP, or the mSFP: "Multicasting-supported Inter-Domain Mobility Management Scheme in Sensor-based Fast Proxy Mobile IPv6 Networks". Based on [8,20], we present its network architecture and evaluate its performance by considering the signaling and mobility cost. Our analysis shows that the proposed scheme reduces the signaling cost, total cost, and mobility cost. With respect to the number of IP-WSN nodes, the proposed scheme reduces the signaling cost by 7% and the total cost by 3%. With respect to the number of hops, the proposed scheme reduces the signaling cost by 6.9%, the total cost by 2.5%, and the mobility cost by 1.5%. With respect to the number of IP-WSN nodes, the proposed scheme reduces the mobility cost by 1.6%.
