Usecases for wireless sensor networks, such as building automation or patient care, often collect and transmit sensitive information. Yet, many deployments currently do not protect this data through suitable security schemes. We propose an end-to-end security scheme build upon existing internet standards, specifically the Datagram Transport Layer Security protocol (DTLS). By relying on an established standard existing implementations, engineering techniques and security infrastructure can be reused which enables easy security uptake. We present a system architecture for this scheme and show its feasibility through the evaluation of our implementation.
A fast full search block matching algorithm is developed. The matching criterion is the sum of absolute differences or the mean square error. The algorithm evaluates lower bounds for the matching criteria for subdivided blocks in order to reduce the number of search positions. It also uses the lower bounds for a fast calculation of the matching criterion for the remaining search positions. The computational complexity of the algorithm is evaluated and compared to the three-step search strategy. The search result of the algorithm is identical to the search result of the exhaustive search.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
