Abstract:A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a distributed network that facilitates wireless information gathering within a region of interest. The information collected by sensors is aggregated at a central node know as the sink node. Two challenges in the deployment of WSNs are limited battery power of each sensor node and sink node anonymity. The role played by the sink node raises its profile as a high value target for attack, thus its anonymity is crucial to the security of a WSN. In order to improve network securi… Show more
“…There has been plenty of research to achieve security within a WSN [7]. There has been some work that has been done on tactical WSNs that serve as a foundation for our work [5,6].…”
