Security in Sensor Networks

by Yang Xiao

Security in Sensor Networks Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Sensor networks differ from traditional networks in many aspects including their limited energy, memory space, and computational capability. These differentiators create unique security vulnerabilities. Security in Sensor Networks covers all aspects of the subject, serving as an invaluable reference for researchers, educators, and practitioners in the field. Containing thirteen invited chapters from internationally recognized security experts, this volume details attacks, encryption, authentication, watermarking, key management, secure routing, and secure aggregation, location, and cross-layer. It offers insight into attacking and defending routing mechanisms in ad hoc and sensor networks, and analyzes MAC layer attacks in 802.15.4 sensor networks.

Book News Annotation:

Because of their limited energy, memory space, and computational capability, sensor networks have some security vulnerabilities that are different from those of traditional networks. This reference for researchers, educators, and practitioners provides broad coverage of sensor security and related issues. The thirteen invited contributions from international security specialists are organized into five main sections: attacks; encryption, authentication, and watermarking; key management; secure routing; and secure aggregation, location, and cross-layer. Editor Xiao teaches computer science at the U. of Alabama. Distributed in the U.S. by Taylor & Francis.
