Collaborative Research: Trustworthy and Resilient Location Discovery in Wireless Sensor Networks

合作研究：无线传感器网络中可信且有弹性的位置发现 Peng Ning，北卡罗来纳州立大学 Wenliang Kevin Du，雪城大学 奖 0430223 摘要传感器网络是健康监测和军事行动等广泛应用的理想选择。 传感器的位置在众多传感器网络应用中起着至关重要的作用。 过去，传感器网络的位置发现取得了重大进展。 然而，恶劣环境中的位置发现大多被忽视。 由于缺乏预防、检测或抵御恶意攻击的解决方案，所有现有的位置发现协议在恶劣环境中都变得脆弱。该项目的目标是开发一套全面的技术来预防、检测或抵御针对传感器网络中位置发现的恶意攻击。 研究人员正在研究适合验证信标消息的密钥管理方案，探索使现有位置发现方案更具弹性的技术，寻求使用部署知识而不是信标节点的无信标位置发现，并最终研究集成所提出技术的方法，以便可以将它们经济有效地组合用于传感器网络应用。 该项目将通过提供可以与当前正在开发的传感器网络技术集成的特定技术解决方案，从而对传感器网络研究产生重大影响，从而使传感器网络应用程序具有固有的内置安全性。

Collaborative Research: Trustworthy and Resilient Location Discovery in Wireless Sensor Networks Peng Ning, North Carolina State UniversityWenliang Kevin Du, Syracuse University Award 0430223AbstractSensor networks are ideal candidates for a wide range of applications such as health monitoring and military operations. Sensors' locations play a critical role in numerous sensor network applications. There have been substantial advances in location discovery for sensor networks in the past. However, location discovery in hostile environments has been mostly overlooked. Due to the lack of solutions to prevent, detect, or survive malicious attacks, all of the existing location discovery protocols become vulnerable in hostile environments.The objective of this project is to develop a comprehensive suite of techniques to prevent, detect, or survive malicious attacks against location discovery in sensor networks. The investigators are studying key management schemes suitable for authenticating beacon messages, exploring techniques to make existing location discovery schemes more resilient, seeking beaconless location discovery that uses deployment knowledge instead of beacon nodes, and finally investigating methods to integrate the proposed techniques so that they can be combined cost-effectively for sensor network applications. This project will have significant impact on the sensor network research by providing specific technical solutions that can be integrated with the sensor network techniques currently being developed, so that sensor network applications are developed with inherent, built-in security.
