무선 센서 네트워크(WSN: Wireless Sensor Network) 환경에서 보안성을 확보하기 위하여, 센서 노드간에 전송된 메시지를 암호화하고 인증하는 것이 중요하다. 암호화와 인증을 위해 사용되는 키는 통신 노드 사이에 합의되어야 한다. 그러나 자원의 제약성 때문에, 일반적인 네트워크에서 많이 사용되는 Diffie-Hellman이나 공개키 기반 키 협의 방법은 WSN 환경에 적합하지 않다. 많은 노드에 비밀키를 사전에 정적으로 분배하는 것은 대용량의 메모리와 계산 능력을 요구하고, 네트워크 환경이 커짐에 따라 이들의 요구량이 급증하기 때문이다. 따라서 이러한 사전 키 분배 문제를 해결하기 위하여, 본 논문은 계층적인 사전 키 분배 방법을 제시한다. 제안된 방법은 기존 방법론과 비교하여 센서 노드간의 공유키가 존재 할 가능성을 증가시켜, 통신 채널을 쉽게 형성할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 외부 공격자의 위협에 대비하여 q-composite 이론을 적용하여, 보안성을 강화시켰다.

Wireless Sensor Networks "WSN" can be implemented in a wide range of applications. Some of these have unpredictable behavior, such as disaster or intrusion monitoring. Sudden large bursting amounts of data can increase traffic and degrade the WSN's performance as well as energy resources. In this work we propose an adjustment of radio transmission range where more or less nodes can be part of the neighborhood area and collaborate in retransmission. As simulation results prove, such adjustment based on traffic can benefit to balance network lifetime.

In this paper, we propose a multiple-disseminators determining mechanism for Efficient Code Dissemination with low-delay(ECoDi) for wireless sensor networks (WSN). Code dissemination is in the spotlight as an important research issue since sensor nodes are necessary for updating new software remotely or fixing bugs dynamically. In particular, the time factor for code dissemination is the most important factor in order that the normal operation of nodes can be continuously performed as soon as finishing the dissemination. For this factor, ECoDi determines the set of disseminators through regression analysis based on the size of distributed code and the time of past unicasts and broadcasts. Then it transmits the entire code as a unicast to multiple disseminators, and the disseminators broadcast the code to the remaining neighbor nodes. Performance results on a testbed show that ECoDi reduces dissemination time significantly compared to a conventional scheme.

Wireless Sensor Network(WSNs) consists of small sensor nodes with sensing, computation, and wireless communication capabilities. The large number of sensor nodes in a WSN means that there will often be some nodes which give erroneous sensor data owing to several reasons such as power shortage and transmission error. Generally, these sensor data are gathered by a sink node to monitor and diagnose the current environment. Therefore, this can make it difficult to get an effective monitoring and diagnosis. In this paper, to overcome the aforementioned problems, intelligent sensor data validation method based on PCA(Principle Component Analysis) is utilized. Furthermore, a practical implementation using embedded system is given to show the feasibility of the proposed scheme.

In this paper, we study a problem of providing reliable data transmission in wireless sensor network(WSN). A system with forward error correction9FEC) can provide an objective reliability while using less transmission power than a system without FEC. We propose the use of LDPC codes of various code rate (0.53, 0.81, 0.91) of FEC for WSN. Node-node-node interference is considered in the simulation in addition to AWGN in the channel. It is shown that the rate of 0.91 LDPC coded system obtained 7dB gain in signal to noise ratio over a system without FEC.

It is essential to investigate the structure and the main characteristics of BSN (Bio-Sensor Network) platform in built smart healthcare environment while designing healthy housing facilities. For this study, WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) data transmission technologies have been employed with medical sensors, and optimal medical devices would provide various Web 2.0 services by connecting to the WiBro network. The BSN platform normally recognizes in surroundings of WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network) or WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network), and it is possible to manage sensor nodes by utilizing SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and REST (REpresentational State Transfer). In addition, the feature of SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for mobile gateway is also included for being adapted to huge network structure. Finally, BSN platform will play a role as important clues for developing personal WSN service models for smart healthy housing properties.

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) can easily compromised from attackers because it has the limited resource and deployed in exposed environments. When the sensitive packets are occurred such as enemy's movement or fire alarm, attackers can selectively drop them using a compromised node. It brings the isolation between the basestation and the sensor fields. To detect selective forwarding attack, Xiao, Yu and Gao proposed checkpoint-based multi-hop acknowledgement scheme (CHEMAS). The check-point nodes are used to detect the area which generating selective forwarding attacks. However, CHEMAS has static probability of selecting check-point nodes. It cannot achieve the flexibility to coordinate between the detection ability and the energy consumption. In this paper, we propose the control method for the number fo check-point nodes. Through the control method, we can achieve the flexibility which can provide the sufficient detection ability while conserving the energy consumption.

It is important to find the random estimation points in wireless sensor network. A link quality indicator (LQI) is part of a network management service that is suitable for a ZigBee network and can be used for localization. The current quality of the received signal is referred as LQI. It is a technique to demodulate the received signal by accumulating the magnitude of the error between ideal constellations and the received signal. This proposed model accepts any number of random estimation point in the network and calculated its nearest anchor centroid node pair. Coordinates of the LQI sphere are calculated from the pair and are added iteratively to the initially estimated point. With the help of the LQI and weighted centroid localization, the proposed system finds the position of target node more accurately than the existing system by solving the problems related to higher error in terms of the distance and the deployment of nodes.

Sensor networks have a wide spectrum of military and civil applications, particularly with respect to security and secure keys for encryption and authentication. This thesis presents a new centralized approach which focuses on the group key distribution with revocation capability for Wireless Sensor Networks. We propose a new personal key share distribution. When utilized, this approach proves to be secure against k-number of illegitimate colluding nodes. In contrast to related approaches, our scheme can overcome the security shortcomings while keeping the small overhead requirements per node. It will be shown that our scheme is unconditionally secure and achieves both forward secrecy and backward secrecy. The analysis is demonstrated in terms of communication and storage overheads.
