“…Owing to the openness of the wireless network and uncontrollability of the nodes without a Central Authority (CA), the availability of compromising nodes and unauthorized access becomes inevitable in the network. Many researchers have worked on this issue and proposed various schemes that can be broadly classified as hard and soft security schemes [29,30]. In the hard security scheme, cryptographic algorithms are implemented to ensure confidentiality on information exchange and authentication of participation nodes.…”

In the recent years, Heterogeneous Distributed Networks (HDNs) is a predominant technology implemented to enable various application in different fields like transportation, medicine, war zone, etc. Due to its arbitrary self-organizing nature and temporary topologies in the spatial-temporal region, distributed systems are vulnerable with a few security issues and demands high security countermeasures. Unlike other static networks, the unique characteristics of HDNs demands cutting edge security policies. Numerous cryptographic techniques have been proposed by different researchers to address the security issues in HDNs. These techniques utilize too many resources, resulting in higher network overheads. This being classified under light weight security scheme, the Trust Management System (TMS) tends to be one of the most promising technology, featured with more efficiency in terms of availability, scalability and simplicity. It advocates both the node level validation and data level verification enhancing trust between the attributes. Further, it thwarts a wide range of security attacks by incorporating various statistical techniques and integrated security services. In this paper, we present a literature survey on different TMS that highlights reliable techniques adapted across the entire HDNs. We then comprehensively study the existing distributed trust computations and benchmark them in accordance to their effectiveness. Further, performance analysis is applied on the existing computation techniques and the benchmarked outcome delivered by Recommendation Trust Computations (RTC) is discussed. A Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve illustrates better accuracy for Recommendation Trust Computations (RTC), in comparison with Direct Trust Computations (DTC) and Hybrid Trust Computations (HTC). Finally, we propose the future directions for research and highlight reliable techniques to build an efficient TMS in HDNs.

“…Other solutions focus on utilizing more key pairs, using threshold, and considering expired date for the master key. However, they have some drawbacks that make them unsuitable for Ad-Hoc networks such as too much overhead to the network, more computation /communication for nodes which are resource constrained devices [12].…”

From the radar and military research world's, the Ultra-WideBand Impulse Radio (UWB-IR) was adopted in the telecommunications world in the 1990'. Currently, the UWB-IR technology is an interesting candidate for close range Wireless Sensors Networks (WSNs). It is particularly attractive for industrial sensor networks due to its resilience to multipath interference, simple transceiver circuitry, accurate ranging ability, and low transmission power. In order to secure data and communications in the Ad-Hoc UWB-IR networks, UWB-IR requires suitable encryption protocols. In this paper, we review and summarize the IEEE 802.15.4 security sub-layer protocol of UWB-IR based Symmetric Key Cryptography scheme. Then, we highlight the different vulnerabilities and weaknesses present in this type of scheme. Finally, we prove, after a deep examination of multiple Public Key Cryptography (PKC) schemes, that the certificateless one is the most suitable for Ad-Hoc UWB-IR networks characterized by nodes mobility. Indeed, we have also evaluated and analyzed the different public key cryptosystems (PKCS) and concluded that NTRU is the most optimum public key cryptosystem to be used with the certificateless scheme in order to secure data and communications in Ad-Hoc UWB-IR Networks. This is due to the fact that it is the fastest PKCS to provide different security levels at a high speed with very constrained resources.

“…Although there are a lot of works about generic WSNs and mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) security (e.g., [14]- [16]), these mechanisms are not directly applicable in MSNs due to the unique and challenging operational and security requirements of MSNs. For instance, the authors of [14] introduce a novel approach to ensure distributed privacy-preserving access control, which is built on a ring signature technique.…”

Wireless medical sensor networks (MSNs) are a key enabling technology in e-healthcare that allows the data of a patient's vital body parameters to be collected by the wearable or implantable biosensors. However, the security and privacy protection of the collected data is a major unsolved issue, with challenges coming from the stringent resource constraints of MSN devices, and the high demand for both security/privacy and practicality. In this paper, we propose a lightweight and secure system for MSNs. The system employs hash-chain based key updating mechanism and proxy-protected signature technique to achieve efficient secure transmission and fine-grained data access control. Furthermore, we extend the system to provide backward secrecy and privacy preservation. Our system only requires symmetric-key encryption/decryption and hash operations and is thus suitable for the low-power sensor nodes. This paper also reports the experimental results of the proposed system in a network of resource-limited motes and laptop PCs, which show its efficiency in practice. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first secure data transmission and access control system for MSNs until now.
