Integration of False Data Detection With Data Aggregation and Confidential Transmission in Wireless Sensor Networks
Integration of False Data Detection With Data Aggregation and Confidential Transmission in Wireless Sensor Networks
ABSTRACT
A WSN is a highly distributed network of small wireless nodes deployed in large numbers of monitor the environment or other systems by the measurement of physical parameters such as temperature, pressure, or relative humidity. Sensor nodes collaborate to form an adhoc network capable of reporting network activities to a data collection sink. Recently, WSNs have been used in many promising applications including habitat monitoring ( ainwaring et al., !""!# and target tracking ($e et al., !""%#. &n wireless sensor networks, compromised sensor nodes can in'ect false data during both data aggregation and data forwarding. (he e)isting false data detection techni*ues consider false data in'ections during data forwarding only and do not allow any change on the data by data aggregation. $owever, this work presents a data aggregation and authentication protocol, called +AA, to integrate false data detection with data aggregation and con,dentiality. (o support data aggregation along with false data detection, the monitoring nodes of every data aggregator also conduct data aggregation and compute the corresponding small-si.e message authentication codes for data veri,cation at their pair mates. /erformance analysis shows that +AA detects any false data in'ected by up to compromised nodes, and that the detected false data are not forwarded beyond the ne)t data aggregator on the path. +espite that false data detection and data con,dentiality increase the communication overhead, simulation results show that +AA can still reduce the amount of transmitted data with the help of data aggregation and early detection of false data. (he suggested approach can be implemented using A(0A1 tool.
