  1. Security Issues in Distributed Sensor Networks Yi Sun Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering University of Maryland, Baltimore County 2007. 10

  2. Outline • Introduction • Security Criteria • Vulnerabilities • Attack types • Security Schemes

  3. 1. Introduction • Explosive growth of mobile computing devices laptops personal digital assistants (PDAs) handheld digital devices … • Ubiquitous computing Individual users utilize, at the same time, several electronic platforms through which they can access all the required information whenever and wherever they may be

  4. 2. Security Criteria • Availability Provide all the designed services • Integrity Malicious altering, accidental altering • Confidentiality Accessible to authorized nodes • Authenticity Prove identities

  5. 2. Security Criteria • Nonrepudiation Cannot disavow sent or received a message • Authorization Specifies the privileges and permissions • Anonymity Privacy preserving

  6. 3. Vulnerabilities • Lack of secure boundaries No needto gain the physical access to visit the network • Threats from compromised nodes inside the network Behavioral diversity of different nodes, mobility • Lack of centralized management facility Benign failures, trust management, cooperative algorithm • Restricted power supply Battery, DoS, selfish node • Scalability Efficient routing protocol, key management service

  7. 4. Attack types • Denial of Service (DoS) Radio jamming, battery exhaustion • Impersonation Compromised nodes join the network as normal nodes • Eavesdropping Obtain confidential information during communication • Attacks against routing Attacks on routing protocols, attacks on packet forwarding/delivery

  8. 5. Security Schemes • Intrusion Detection Techniques Distributed and cooperative to meet with the needs of sensor networks • Secure Routing Techniques Defend specific attacks and general attacks • Medium Access Control Guaranteed or controlled access, random access • Key Management Cryptography
