Time synchronisation has been extensively used in wireless sensor networks in many contexts, such as data fusion, TDMA schedules and synchronised sleep periods. Precision is the basic requirement for time synchronisation in wireless sensor networks. Existing time synchronisation methods were not designed to deal with dynamic environment changes. In this paper, we propose an error compensation algorithm which is designed to compensate errors caused by hardware clock drift and environment changes. The algorithm works according to a level hierarchy: the nodes in each level have the same hop and linear regression is adopted to analyse clock drift. The compensation mechanism decreases the instability caused by crystal oscillators and eliminates errors accumulated during running time. The algorithm is implemented on the SIA2420 platform using TinyOS and the results show the reliability of our algorithm.

“…Particularly, the ZigBee protocol [4] is becoming a de facto standard for WPANs. One important issue for WPANs is their security, in terms of confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, availability [5,6]. In fact, differently from a wired network, where the information transmitted among nodes is confined within a physical medium (a wire), in a wireless network the information is exchanged among nodes through electromagnetic waves, that are broadcasted to the atmosphere.…”

“…Particularly, they are able to prevent/limit the abovementioned attacks on the messages transmitted from the transmitter (master) node (Tx) to receiver (slave) nodes (Rx) [2]. Reversely, they do not provide any protection to the acknowledgment (ACK) message [5], that is sent back by the Rx in order to confirm to the Tx that the message has been successfully received. The lack of protection for the ACK is a serious bug [5], possibly harming the security of the whole network.…”

“…Moreover, in the IEEE 802.15.4 and the ZigBee protocols, the message freshness against possible replay attacks is guaranteed by a frame counter only. This makes the WPAN vulnerable to DoS attacks, for instance exploiting the overflow of a frame counter [5]. Based on these considerations, in this paper we propose a new, secure communication protocol for WPANs, that is able to guarantee message integrity, authenticity and freshness for both sender messages and acknowledgment messages.…”

With the advancement of computer and information technology, cyber crime is now becoming one of the most significant challenges facing law enforcement organizations. Cyber crimes are generally referred as criminal activities that use computers or networks. An understanding of the characteristics and nature of cyber crimes is important in helping research communities find ways to effectively prevent them. Most existing research focuses more on attacks and attack models, including either actual attacks or imaginary/possible attacks over all layers of networks or computers, but there has been less work carried out on a comprehensive survey of cyber crimes. This paper provides a survey of cyber crimes that have actually occurred. First, cyber crimes in the digital world are compared with crimes in the physical world. Then, cyber crimes are categorized according to the roles of computers or networks. Furthermore, we also notice that some cyber crimes are actually traditionally non‐cyber crimes that are facilitated by computers or networks. It is surprising that there are so many recurrent cyber crimes. More efforts are needed to protect people from cyber crimes. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
