CDA: concealed data aggregation for reverse multicast traffic in wireless sensor networks

TL;DR: This work applies a particular class of encryption transformation and exemplarily discusses the approach on the basis of two aggregation functions, and uses actual implementation to show that the approach is feasible and flexible and frequently even more energy efficient than hop-by-hop encryption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Concealed Data Aggregation for Reverse Multicast Traffic in Sensor Networks: Encryption, Key Distribution, and Routing Adaptation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an approach that conceals sensed data end-to-end while still providing efficient and flexible in-network data aggregation, where the aggregating intermediate nodes are not required to operate on the sensed plaintext data.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Public Key Based Cryptoschemes for Data Concealment in Wireless Sensor Networks

TL;DR: This paper revisits and investigates the applicability of additively homomorphic public-key encryption algorithms for certain classes of wireless sensor networks and provides recommendations for selecting the most suitable public key schemes for different topologies and wireless sensor network scenarios.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Context aware detection of selfish nodes in DSR based ad-hoc networks

TL;DR: This paper detects a large range of attacks on Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol and the originator of the attack and provides mechanism to inform other nodes of the system about the accused, and provides a context aware inference scheme to blame the accused and malicious accuser without doubt.
Journal ArticleDOI

TinyPEDS: Tiny persistent encrypted data storage in asynchronous wireless sensor networks

TL;DR: This work provides and analyse an approach for a tiny Persistent Encrypted Data Storage (tinyPEDS) of the environmental fingerprint for asynchronous wireless sensor networks, to ensure that, with a high probability, environmental information from past is still available.
