TL;DR: A new novel approach for securing wireless sensor networks with different layers of security along with data encryption / decryption strategies is proposed and will help the organizations to secure their information and make underlying wireless networks more secure and reliable.
Abstract: It has been observed that, the use of wireless sensor network platforms have procured vast popularity over last few years. The wireless sensor networks are being widely used in agriculture, home security, health care monitoring and traffic management systems. Usage of these systems has increased rapidly. An organization or institute can make use of the data obtained from various such sensor network systems for their analysis. Data obtained from such networks can be misused by any person if the systems are not well secured. Thus misuse of valuable information raises many problems for organization or institute. So to tackle this problem, we need to secure the sensor network systems from vulnerable attacks. In this paper, we propose a new novel approach for securing wireless sensor networks with different layers of security along with data encryption / decryption strategies. As there is a huge concern regarding privacy and integrity of data, this approach will help the organizations to secure their information and make underlying wireless networks more secure and reliable. This paper also brings focus on design and implementation of reliable secure sensor network for the health care monitoring in medical field. The architecture will allow smooth and efficient interconnection of patient's body area network and stationary wireless networks. It presents native solutions for event management, time synchronization and security.

TL;DR: The objective of the each phase is to enhance the data accuracy of the collected data with minimized delay to achieve scalable and fairness medical sensor networks system.
Abstract: Advances made in the wearable and biosensor has attracted the applicability and usability of the healthcare applications. The biosensors collect the human physiological data from a remote area using wireless communication medium. Different form of security implications have to be exhibited in wireless body area networks (WBAN). This paper researches on enhancing the network layer and application layer of the WBAN in healthcare environment. The objective of the each phase is to enhance the data accuracy of the collected data with minimized delay. In the first phase, we have constructed attack model for Sybil, sinkhole and wormhole attacks and detected those attacks under different constraints. Secondly, an efficient packet transmission model which helps to transmit the sensed data based on their emergency using weighted product model. After devising network layer, a lightweight security scheme, an improved elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) that permits the data access for the authorized users. Experimental analysis is carried out for each phase under pre-defined simulation parameters which explores better results. The framed attack model detects the three eminent attacks in terms of false positive rate and false negative rate which helps the data controller for message transmission process. Likewise, we have also achieved 97% packet delivery ratio with 0.8 ms packet dropping ratio for better packet transmission model than the existing TOPSIS model. Time taken for key generation and secret key exchange using our proposed ECC achieved 2.4 and 0.96 ms. The overall system proves that our research model achieves scalable and fairness medical sensor networks system.

TL;DR: This paper breaks down the energy consumption for the components of a typical sensor node, and discusses the main directions to energy conservation in WSNs, and presents a systematic and comprehensive taxonomy of the energy conservation schemes.
Abstract: In the last years, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have gained increasing attention from both the research community and actual users. As sensor nodes are generally battery-powered devices, the critical aspects to face concern how to reduce the energy consumption of nodes, so that the network lifetime can be extended to reasonable times. In this paper we first break down the energy consumption for the components of a typical sensor node, and discuss the main directions to energy conservation in WSNs. Then, we present a systematic and comprehensive taxonomy of the energy conservation schemes, which are subsequently discussed in depth. Special attention has been devoted to promising solutions which have not yet obtained a wide attention in the literature, such as techniques for energy efficient data acquisition. Finally we conclude the paper with insights for research directions about energy conservation in WSNs.

TL;DR: This paper aims to provide an overview of four emerging unobtrusive and wearable technologies, which are essential to the realization of pervasive health information acquisition, including: 1) unobTrusive sensing methods, 2) smart textile technology, 3) flexible-stretchable-printable electronics, and 4) sensor fusion.
Abstract: The aging population, prevalence of chronic diseases, and outbreaks of infectious diseases are some of the major challenges of our present-day society. To address these unmet healthcare needs, especially for the early prediction and treatment of major diseases, health informatics, which deals with the acquisition, transmission, processing, storage, retrieval, and use of health information, has emerged as an active area of interdisciplinary research. In particular, acquisition of health-related information by unobtrusive sensing and wearable technologies is considered as a cornerstone in health informatics. Sensors can be weaved or integrated into clothing, accessories, and the living environment, such that health information can be acquired seamlessly and pervasively in daily living. Sensors can even be designed as stick-on electronic tattoos or directly printed onto human skin to enable long-term health monitoring. This paper aims to provide an overview of four emerging unobtrusive and wearable technologies, which are essential to the realization of pervasive health information acquisition, including: 1) unobtrusive sensing methods, 2) smart textile technology, 3) flexible-stretchable-printable electronics, and 4) sensor fusion, and then to identify some future directions of research.

TL;DR: Current state-of-the-art in energy-efficient routing techniques for WMSNs is surveyed together with the highlights of the performance issues of each strategy.
Abstract: The recent technological advances in micro electro-mechanical systems have promoted the development of a powerful class of sensor-based distributed intelligent systems capable of ubiquitously retrieving multimedia information, namely Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs). WMSNs are gaining more popularity day by day as they are envisioned to support a large number of both non-real time and real-time multimedia applications. However, satisfying the stringent quality of service (QoS) requirements of multimedia transmission in a resource-constrained sensor network environment places new challenges to routing. As an outcome, optimal energy and application-specific QoS aware routing for WMSNs has gained considerable research attention recently. In this paper, current state-of-the-art in energy-efficient routing techniques for WMSNs is surveyed together with the highlights of the performance issues of each strategy. We outline the design challenges of routing protocols for WMSNs followed by the limitations of current techniques designed for non-multimedia data transmission. Further, a classification of recent routing protocols for WMSNs and a discussion of possible future research trends are presented.
