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

合作研究：无线传感器网络中的可信和弹性位置发现彭宁，北卡罗来纳州州立大学杜文亮，锡拉丘兹大学奖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候选者。 传感器的位置在许多传感器网络应用中起着关键作用。 过去，传感器网络的位置发现已经取得了实质性的进展。 然而，在恶劣环境中的位置发现大多被忽视。 由于缺乏解决方案，以防止，检测，或生存的恶意攻击，所有现有的位置发现协议变得脆弱，在恶劣的环境中，本项目的目标是开发一套全面的技术，以防止，检测，或生存的恶意攻击对传感器网络中的位置发现。 调查人员正在研究密钥管理方案，适用于验证信标消息，探索技术，使现有的位置发现方案更具弹性，寻求无信标位置发现，使用部署知识，而不是信标节点，并最终调查方法，以整合所提出的技术，使它们可以结合成本效益的传感器网络应用。 该项目将对传感器网络研究产生重大影响，提供特定的技术解决方案，可以与目前正在开发的传感器网络技术相结合，使传感器网络应用程序具有固有的，内置的安全性。

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.
