“…The disadvantage of this approach is the expensive exchange of messages to maintain the coherence of the metadata. Younis et al [9] suggest an Adaptive Security Provision (ASP), which adjusts security packet security processing based on trust and threats associated to routes. This solution is however too heavy for WSN.…”

Abstract. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) led the way to new forms of communications, which extend today the Internet paradigm to unforeseen boundaries. The legacy industry, however, is slower to adopt this technology, mainly for security reasons. Self-managed security systems allowing a quicker detection of and better resilience to attacks, may counterbalance this reluctance. We propose in this paper a hybrid threat detection and security adaptation system, designed to run on top of industrial WSNs. We explain why this system is suitable for architectures mainly composed of constrained or sleeping devices, while being able to achieve a fair level of autonomous security.

“…If a source node wants to send a secret message to the sink node, it must first exchange a session key which in turn will be used to encrypt the message. ASP (Adaptive Security Provision) is a security model proposed by Younis et al [18]. Their model avoids unnecessary overhead imposed on individual nodes.…”

“…Even though several routing protocols have been proposed in the literature, a number of these protocols including ones proposed by Heizelman et al [8], Intagagonwiwat et al [9], Chiang et al [5], Azim [3], El-semary and Azim [7], and Lindsey and Raghayendra [12] concentrate on energy utilization of the deployed sensors while other protocols such as the ones presented by Deng et al [6] and Zhou et al [21] are designed to protect the network against a specific type attack. Furthermore, protocols such as the ones developed by Zhang et al [20] and by Younis et al [18] detect compromised nodes and provide an optimization strategy to avoid unnecessary overhead, respectively. Sensor nodes deploying any of these protocols forward packets based on information collected from other sensor nodes.…”

Recently, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been deployed into a variety of applications including homeland security and military systems. Sensor nodes deployed in such networks are subject to several attacks including sinkhole, selective forwarding, wormhole, and spoofing attacks. Therefore, developing secure and energy-efficient routing protocols is imperative. This paper proposes an energy-efficient secure routing protocol for WSNs in which each sensor node forwards packets based on its own information. Thus it cannot be deceived by any other sensor node. The protocol employs the RouletteWheel selection algorithm to select a next node during the forwarding process while using µTesla protocol together with symmetric encryption and hash function algorithms to provide the needed security. Simulation results indicate that the performance of the proposed protocol outperforms the performance of the Path Energy Weight and the minimum hop protocols under such attacks. In addition, it exhibits a grateful performance under attack-free conditions.

“…Additionally, the proposed approach finds the likelihood of the presence of cloud directed attack patterns in data event windows and assigns information assurance levels to paths. Subsequently, path encryption strengths and cost factors are dynamically adjusted according to assigned information assurance levels [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”

Networks can be secured using a secure quality of service approach in which a sender disperses data along multiple secure paths. In this secure multipath approach, a portion of the data from the sender is transmitted over each path on fixed bandwidth networks, and the receiver assembles the data fragments that arrive. The research presented explores the effects of cloud infrastructure attack scenarios, and gauges the threat levels along each path. Optimal sampling and compression via compressed sensing is employed in order to minimize the possibility of dropped packets and missed attacks. The probability of the presence of specific attack signatures along each network path is determined using statistical learning techniques. Path information assurance levels are derived using these probabilities and encryption strengths are dynamically increased along those paths found to be most vulnerable. As compared to statically employed path encryption schemes, the devised methods in this research significantly increase data throughput on fixed bandwidth networks.
