Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have attracted a lot of interest over the last decade in wireless and mobile computing research community. Applications of WSNs are numerous and growing, which range from indoor deployment scenarios in the home and office to outdoor deployment in adversary’s territory in a tactical battleground. However, due to distributed nature and their deployment in remote areas, these networks are vulnerable to numerous security threats that can adversely affect their performance. This problem is more critical if the network is deployed for some mission-critical applications such as in a tactical battlefield. Random failure of nodes is also very likely in real-life deployment scenarios. Due to resource constraints in the sensor nodes, traditional security mechanisms with large overhead of computation and communication are infeasible in WSNs. Design and implementation of secure WSNs is, therefore, a particularly challenging task. This chapter provides a comprehensive discussion on the state of the art in security technologies for WSNs. It identifies various possible attacks at different layers of the communication protocol stack in a typical WSN and presents their possible countermeasures. A brief discussion on the future direction of research in WSN security is also included.

Clustered sensor networks have recently been shown to increase system throughput, decrease system delay, and save energy while performing data aggregation. Whereas those with rotating cluster heads, such as LEACH (low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy), have also advantages in terms of security, the dynamic nature of their communication makes most existing security solutions inadequate for them. In this paper, we investigate the problem of adding security to hierarchical (cluster-based) sensor networks where clusters are formed dynamically and periodically, such as LEACH. For this purpose, we show how random key predistribution, widely studied in the context of flat networks, and μTESLAμTESLA, a building block from SPINS, can be both used to secure communications in this type of network. We present our solution, and provide a detailed analysis of how different values for the various parameters in such a system impact a hierarchical network in terms of security and energy efficiency. To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first that investigates security in hierarchical WSNs with dynamic cluster formation.

A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of mobile stations with wireless interfaces which form a temporary network without using any central administration. MANETs are more vulnerable to attacks because they have some specific characteristics as complexity of wireless communication and lack of infrastructure. Hence security is an important requirement in mobile ad hoc networks. One of the attacks against network integrity in MANETs is the Black Hole Attack. In this type of attack all data packets are absorbed by malicious node, hence data loss occurs. In this paper we investigated the impacts of Black Hole attacks on the network performance. We have simulated black hole attacks using Network Simulator 2 (NS-2) and have measured the packet loss in the network without and with a black hole attacks. Also, we measured the packet loss when the number of black hole attacks increases.

This paper presents a routing protocol architecture based on recursive group algorithm. This algorithm apply Group Verification Tree approach which makes the sensor network secure and make it safer from malicious intrusions and illegitimate users. The proposed approach will give a new dimension to the fast and secure routing in the sensor networks with less energy to be consumed. Based on the analysis and simulation the proposed strategies yield better results than the existing results.

Today's Internet and enterprise networks are so popular as they can easily provide multimedia and e-commerce services to millions of users over the Internet in our daily lives. Since then, security has been a challenging problem in the Internet's world. That issue is called Cyberwar, in which attackers can aim or raise Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) to others to take down the operation of enterprises Intranet. Therefore, the need of applying an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is very important to enterprise networks. In this paper, we propose a smarter solution to detect network anomalies in Cyberwar using Stacking techniques in which we apply three popular machine learning models: k-nearest neighbor algorithm (KNN), Adaptive Boosting (AdaBoost), and Random Decision Forests (RandomForest). Our proposed scheme uses the Logistic Regression method to automatically search for better parameters to the Stacking model. We do the performance evaluation of our proposed scheme on the latest data set NSL-KDD 2019 dataset. We also compare the achieved results with individual machine learning models to show that our proposed model achieves much higher accuracy than previous works.

Abstract:-Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an emerging technology that shows great assure for various futuristic applications both for public and military. Many researchers tried to develop further cost and energy efficient computing devices and algorithms for WSN but the most challenging is to fit the security of WSN into that strained environment. However, security is crucial to the success of applying WSN. So it becomes essential to be familiar with the security aspects of WSN before designing WSN system. When sensor networks are deployed in an aggressive terrain, security becomes extremely important, as they are prone to different types of despite attacks. The intent of this paper is to investigate security problems and various security requirements. We identify the attacks at all the layers of WSN network architecture and also tried to find their possible solution.

A technique to transmit bulk amount of data in the form of QR code (Quick Response Code) and to make secure transmission of QRC containing the information is proposed. Since last few years, two-dimensional (2D) codes have gained the attention of the people from the industrial backgrounds and gradually replaced one-dimensional bar codes in many applications due to their higher information storage capacity. Quick response (QR) codes, defined by the ISO/IEC18004 standard, are one of the most popular types of 2D codes. So,initially, the bulk information to be transmitted is put into a QR container. Considering the very dark side of the unsecure QR codes, we enhance security by chunking the actual QR to be transmitted and then encrypt individual chunk using the CHAOS BASED FEEDBACK STREAM CIPHER (CBFSC) mechanism. Using this technique, the chunked QR code is encrypted pixel by pixel considering the values of previously encrypted pixels, in each iteration. After this, each encrypted chunk is transmitted over the network as packets At the receiving end, the chunks are decrypted individually. Finally, they are clustered to get the original QR code that can be read using secure QR reader, thus fighting against cryptanalytic attacks. Thus a QR code containing the information to be transmitted is encrypted using the above said The advantage is that any changes in the plain image are cascaded forward throughout the cipher image, which means that two almost identical plain images will encrypt to completely different cipher images. Notably, all the QR images are almost identical and so is the reason we use the said technique. As the QR codes stand as data containers that provide more security when encrypted, from the viewpoint of data hiding researches, they shall then be regarded as the visible watermarks helping us to transmit bulk data.

In many Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), providing end to end secure communications between sensors and the sink is important for secure network management. While there have been many works devoted to hop by hop secure communications, the issue of end to end secure communications is largely ignored. In this paper, we design an end to end secure communication protocol in randomly deployed WSNs. Specifically, our protocol is based on a methodology called differentiated key pre-distribution. The core idea is to distribute different number of keys to different sensors to enhance the resilience of certain links. This feature is leveraged during routing, where nodes route through those links with higher resilience. Using rigorous theoretical analysis, we derive an expression for the quality of end to end secure communications, and use it to determine optimum protocol parameters. Extensive performance evaluation illustrates
that our solutions can provide highly secure communications between sensor nodes and the sink in randomly deployed WSNs. We also provide detailed discussion on a potential attack (i.e. biased node capturing attack) to our solutions, and propose several countermeasures to this attack.

We present a novel cross-layer design for improving energy efficiency in a wireless sensor network that utilizes a multi-channel non-persistent CSMA MAC protocol with adaptive MQAM modulation at the physical layer. Cross-layer interactions are achieved through joint, traffic-dependent adaptation of the backoff probability at the MAC layer and the modulation order at the physical layer. The joint optimization of the backoff probability and the modulation order is conducted subject to a constraint on the packet retransmission delay. Such an optimization is shown to produce a significant improvement in the per-bit energy requirement for successful packet delivery. Our analytical findings are verified through numerical results and computer simulations.

We have developed a self-healing key distribution scheme for secure multicast group communications for wireless sensor network environment. We present a strategy for securely distributing rekeying messages and specify techniques for joining and leaving a group. Access control in multicast system is usually achieved by encrypting the content using an encryption key, known as the group key (session key) that is only known by the group controller and all legitimate group members. In our scheme, all rekeying messages, except for unicast of an individual key, are transmitted without any encryption using one-way hash function and XOR operation. In our proposed scheme, nodes are capable of recovering lost session keys on their own, without requesting additional transmission from the group controller. The proposed scheme provides both backward and forward secrecy. We analyze the proposed scheme to verify that it satisfies the security and performance requirements for secure group communication.
