Abstract:

Durant ces dernières années, l’utilisation des réseaux de capteurs sans fils (RCSF), est devenu très répandue. Les capteurs sont habituellement déployés dans une région, pour suivre un phénomène d’intérêt (température, pression, mouvement, présence, radiation, etc,), puis rapporter son évolution à une station de base, qui prendra alors des décisions dépendant des données collectées. Vu que les capteurs sont très limités en termes de ressource (CPU, stockage, énergie), qu’ils sont une proie facile aux compromissions, qu’ils fonctionnent sans assistance humaine, et peuvent être déployés dans des

Abstract:

L’utilisation des réseaux de capteurs offre de nouvelles perspectives dans de nombreux domaines (médecine, militaire, etc.). Les données récoltées par ces capteurs circulent en clair sur les réseaux de capteurs et peuvent être interceptées par un espion. Selon le domaine d’utilisation, le niveau de sécurité souhaité peut être élevé, ce qui peut provoquer une hausse de la consommation d’énergie sur les nœuds. Ces deux contraintes, sécurité et énergie, sont difficilement conciliables. Il y a donc un compromis à trouver entre l’économie d’énergie qui va conditionner la durée de vie du réseau, et

Abstract:

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have attracted great attention not only in industry but also in academia due to their enormous application potential and unique security challenges. A typical sensor network can be seen as a combination of a number of low-cost sensor nodes which have very limited computation and communication capability, memory space, and energy supply. The nodes are self-organized into a network to sense or monitor surrounding information in an unattended environment, while the self-organization property makes the networks vulnerable to various attacks.Many cryptographic mechan

Like conventional networks, security is also a big concern in wireless sensor networks. However, security in this type of networks faces not only typical but also new challenges.

Hence, developing security solutions for wireless sensor networks not only requires well security analysis but also offers a low power and processing consuming.In this thesis, we implem

In traditional Wireless Sensor network's (WSN's), the sink is the only unconditionally trusted authority. If the sink is not connected to the nodes for a period of time then the network is considered as unattended. In Unattended Wireless Sensor Network (UWSN), a trusted mobile sink visits each node periodically to collect data. This network differs from the traditional multi hop wireless sensor networks where the nodes close to the sink deplete their power earlier than the other nodes. An UWSN can prolong the life time of the network by saving the battery of the nodes and also it can be deploy

This thesis explores security issues in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), and network-layer countermeasures to threats involving routing metrics. Before WSNs can mature to the point of being integrated into daily infrastructure, it is vital that the sensor network technologies involved become sufficiently mature and robust against malicious attack to be trustworthy. Although cryptographic approaches and dedicated security modules are vital, it is important to employ defence in depth via a suite of approaches.

Abstract:

Wireless sensor networks have become increasingly popular in many applications such as environment monitoring and law enforcement. Data aggregation is a method used to reduce network traffic but cannot be used together with conventional encryption schemes because it is not secure and introduces extra overhead. Homomorphic encryption is an encryption scheme that allows data processing on encrypted data as opposed to plaintext. It has the benefit that each intermediate node does not have to decrypt each packet, but the resulting cyphertext is usually much larger than the original plaintext. This

The nodes in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) utilize the radio frequency (RF) channel to communicate. Given that the RF channel is the primary communication channel, many researchers have developed techniques for securing that channel. However, the RF channel is not the only interface into a sensor. The sensing components, which are primarily designed to sense characteristics about the outside world, can also be used (or misused) as a communication (side) channel. In our work, we aim to characterize the side channels for various sensory components (i.e., light sensor, acoustic sensor, and a

Abstract:

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are deployed for monitoring in a range of critical domains (e.g., health care, military, critical infrastructure). Accordingly, these WSNs should be resilient to attacks. The current approach to defending against malicious threats is to develop and deploy a specific defense mechanism for a specific attack. However, the problem with this traditional approach to defending sensor networks is that the solution for one attack (i.e., Jamming attack) does not defend against other attacks (e.g., Sybil and Selective Forwarding). This work addresses the challenges with th

Abstract:

In recent years, there has been an enormous growth of location-aware devices, such as GPS embedded cell phones, mobile sensors and radio-frequency identification tags. The age of combining sensing, processing and communication in one device, gives rise to a vast number of applications leading to endless possibilities and a realization of mobile Wireless Sensor Network (mWSN) applications. As computing, sensing and communication become more ubiquitous, trajectory privacy becomes a critical piece of information and an important factor for commercial success. While on the move, sensor nodes conti
