sensor networks. AWISSENET motivation is to implement and validate a scalable, secure,
trusted networking protocol stack, able to offer self-configuration and secure roaming
of data and services over multiple administrative domains and across insecure infrastructures
of heterogeneous ad-hoc & wireless tiny sensory networks. AWISSENET optimisations
will be extended where applicable from networking up to the applications layer,
focusing on four key principles:
- Discovery, evaluation and selection of trusted routes based on
multiple security metrics and key pre-distribution methods. The overall scheme must
support secure routing even with disappearing nodes, multiple levels of in-network
processing and multiple layers of aggregation.· Moreover to protect the secure routing
information from traffic analysis attacks, we will research utilisation of dynamic
obfuscation of relationships.
-
Secure Service Discovery, providing an extremely low power network-level
security framework, which will protect service discovery messages inside the AWISSENET,
when crossing unknown domains or when interacting with public service providers.
-
Intrusion detection, intruder identification and recovery based
on distributed trust to provide security against malicious attacks.
-
Highly Secure sensor nodes against attacks from malicious users
having actual access to the· sensor nodes.
The AWISSENET results will be packed in a AWISSENET security toolbox, which
will enable easy configuration and instant support of Ad-hoc PAN & WIreless
Sensor SEcure NETworks. The proposed architecture and protocol toolbox
will be prototyped and validated in a large trial of more than 100 nodes, consisting
of sensor/MOTEs, wireless cameras and RFID tags. Over this trial, a number of PAN
and wireless sensor application scenarios will be validated e.g. ambient intelligence
in environments like industry, home, roads and disaster recovery.
