Cryptographic algorithms play an important role in the security architecture of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Choosing most storage- and energy-efficient block cipher is essential, due to facts that these are meant operate without human intervention for a long period time with little energy supply, available storage scarce on nodes. However, our knowledge, no systematic work has been done this area so far. We construct evaluation framework which we first identify candidates ciphers...

A typical wireless sensor node has little protection against radio jamming. The situation becomes worse if energy-efficient jamming can be achieved by exploiting knowledge of the data link layer. Encrypting packets may help to prevent jammer from taking actions based on content packets, but temporal arrangement induced nature protocol might unravel patterns that take advantage of, even when are encrypted. By looking at packet interarrival times in three representative MAC protocols, S-MAC,...

The power grid is a critical infrastructure that must be protected against potential threats. While modern technologies at the center of ongoing smart evolution increase its operational efficiency, they also make it more susceptible to malicious attacks such as false data injection electronic monitoring systems. This paper presents game-theoretic approach security by combining quantitative risk management techniques with decision making on protective measures. consequences are quantified...

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have become essential for processing the vast amounts of aerial imagery collected using earth-observing satellite platforms. However, DNNs are vulnerable towards adversarial examples, and it is expected that this weakness also plagues imagery. In work, we demonstrate one first efforts on physical attacks imagery, whereby patches were optimised, fabricated installed or near target objects (cars) to significantly reduce efficacy an object detector applied overhead...

In this paper, we present a mechanism for securing group communications in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). First, derive an extension of logical key hierarchy (LKH). Then merge the with directed diffusion. The resulting protocol, LKHW, combines advantages both LKH and diffusion: robustness routing, security from tried tested concepts secure multicast. particular, LKHW enforces backward forward secrecy, while incurring energy cost that scales roughly logarithmically size. This is first...

The proliferation of wearable devices has contributed to the emergence mobile crowdsensing, which leverages power crowd collect and report data a third party for large-scale sensing collaborative learning. However, since may not be honest, privacy poses major concern. In this paper, we address concern with two-stage privacy-preserving scheme called RG-RP: first stage is designed mitigate maximum posteriori (MAP) estimation attacks by perturbing each participant's through nonlinear function...

A machine-to-machine (M2M) communications system is a large-scale network with diverse applications and massive number of interconnected heterogeneous machines (e.g., sensors, vending vehicles). Cellular wireless technologies will be potential candidate for providing the last mile M2M connectivity. Thus, Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) IEEE 802.16p, have both specified an overall cellular reference architecture. The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), in...

Aerial human action recognition is an emerging topic in drone applications. Commercial platforms capable of detecting basic actions such as hand gestures have been developed. However, a limited number aerial video datasets are available to support increased research into analysis. Most the confined indoor scenes or object tracking and many outdoor do not sufficient body details apply state-of-the-art machine learning techniques. To fill this gap enable wider application areas, we present...

A wide-area measurement system (WAMS) is a that provides time-synchronized view of electrical conditions over large geographical area, thereby enhancing the situational awareness energy management power grid. With this enhanced awareness, utilities would be able to react promptly contingencies, and prevent large-scale blackouts. To secure WAMS communications, we propose key (WAKE), comprehensive scheme targeting concrete set security objectives derived from NIST's impact level ratings. For...

A power grid has four segments: generation, transmission, distribution and demand. Until now, utilities have been focusing on streamlining their transmission operations for energy efficiency. While loads traditionally a passive part of grid, with rapid advances in ICT, demand-side technologies now play an increasingly important role the efficiency grids. This paper starts by introducing key concepts management load management. Classical defines six shape objectives, which "peak clipping"...

We argue that among denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, link-layer jamming is a more attractive option to attackers than radio is. By exploiting the semantics of protocol (aka MAC protocol), an attacker can achieve better efficiency blindly signals alone. In this paper, we investigate some attacks on S-MAC, level effectiveness and potentially countermeasure be implemented against one these attacks.

Advancements in deep neural networks have contributed to near perfect results for many computer vision problems such as object recognition, face recognition and pose estimation. However, human action is still far from human-level performance. Owing the articulated nature of body, it challenging detect an multiple viewpoints, particularly aerial viewpoint. This further compounded by a scarcity datasets that cover viewpoints actions. To fill this gap enable research wider application areas, we...

The security of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a complex issue. While research WSNs progressing at tremendous pace, and many techniques have been proposed, no comprehensive framework has so far emerged that attempts to tie the bits pieces together ease implementors' adoption technologies. We answer challenge by proposing guidelines according which WSN can be implemented in practice.

The energy efficiency requirement of wireless sensor networks (WSN) is especially high because the nodes are meant to operate without human intervention for a long period time with little supply. Besides, available storage scarce due their small physical size. Therefore choosing most storage- and energy-efficient block cipher WSN important. However our knowledge so far no systematic work has been conducted in this area. We have identified candidates ciphers suitable based on existing...

We propose LicenseScript as a new multiset rewriting/logic based language for expressing dynamic conditions of use digital assets such music, video or private data. differs from other rights expression languages in that it caters the intentional but legal manipulation believe this feature is answer to providing flexibility needed support emerging usage paradigms provide with simple semantics on traces.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are well suited for environment monitoring. However, some highly specialized sensors (e.g. hydrological sensors) have high power demand, and without due care, they can exhaust the battery supply quickly. Taking measurements with this kind of also overwhelm communication resources by far. One way to reduce drawn these high-demand is adaptive sampling, i.e., skip sampling when data loss estimated be low. Here, we present an algorithm based on Box-Jenkins...

A network reprogramming protocol is made for updating the firmware of a wireless sensor (WSN) in situ. For security reasons, every update must be authenticated to prevent an attacker from installing its code network. While existing schemes can provide authentication services, they are insufficient new generation coding-based protocols like Rateless Deluge. We propose Secure Deluge or Sreluge, secure version that resistant pollution attacks (denial-of-service aimed at polluting encoded...
