Abstract-We propose PhotoNet, a picture delivery service for camera sensor networks. PhotoNet is motivated by the needs of disaster-response applications, where a group of survivors and first responders may survey damage and send images to a rescue center in the absence of a functional communication infrastructure. The protocol runs on mobile devices, handling opportunistic forwarding (when they come in contact) and innetwork storage. It assigns priorities to images for forwarding and replacement depending on the degree of similarity (or dissimilarity) among them, such that scarce resources are assigned to delivery of most "deserving" content first. Prioritization aims at reducing semantic redundancy such as that between pictures of the same scene at the same location taken from slightly different angles. This is in contrast to redundancy among identical objects and among time series data. PhotoNet delivers more diverse pictures in terms of event coverage suppressing logically redundant content belonging to the same event. We show that, in resource constrained networks, reducing semantic redundancy can significantly improve the utility of the service.

“…They follow a Random Way Point mobility model based movement pattern. A related work in the field of post-disaster scenarios has been reported by Uddin et al (2009) where authors have proposed the use of random way-point mobility model within each cluster.

Abstract:In this work, security threats posed by selfish, blackhole and wormhole attacks in a delay tolerant network (DTN) are addressed. A cooperative approach has been proposed as a solution where malicious behaviour of a node is tested whenever another node tries to send a message to it. Performance parameters, like received and sent messages to neighbouring nodes have been used along with calculated faith values (CFV) to derive latest CFVs. The process is repeated for each communication instance. In addition, a simple yet efficient credibility-based cryptographic encryption technique is applied to encrypt message contents that works by appending the signatures and CFV values of each encountered nodes. The method has been tested, by implementing it over the spray and wait DTN protocol, in the ONE simulator. The proposed strategy is able to avoid the three types of malicious nodes effectively and increases the trustworthiness of communication process greatly.Keywords: selfish node; blackhole; wormhole; delay tolerant network; DTN security; cooperative; combined faith value; CFV.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Gupta, A.K., Mandal, J.K.

“…We investigate the resiliency of an emergency communication network under two categories of DoS attacks. We use the Post-disaster mobility model 1 [7] recommended by IETF for ICN Baseline Scenarios on Emergency Support and Disaster Recovery in DTN [10]. We analyse the effect of these attacks on the performance of the Emergency communication network during the evacuation process and rescue operation.…”

“…Communication infrastructures with fragile connectivity have no security solutions from the current Internet Protocols today, however much effort has been made by the academia and research groups towards achieving an efficient and effective communication model for networks with no end-to-end connectivity and variable long delays [6]. DTN is considered as an effective method of communication in areas requiring emergency communication support [7] however [3] points out that the mobility modeling used by DTNs are not suitable for disaster response communication networks as a result of its mobility pattern which are suitable for a disaster scenarios. Recent work in rescue operations demonstrates the use of DTN in information gathering on disaster victims and sharing among rescue workers [8], another work (MONAC) [9] focuses on information disseminated by victims using twitter messages through a DTN Network which is characterised by a variable long delay and there is no guarantee of delivery.…”

Abstract-In the event of a disaster, there is a severe damage/destruction to physical infrastructures such as telecommunication and power lines which result in the disruption of communication in this areas. For such scenarios, Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) provides an alternative means of communication.In Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs), a message from a source node may be delivered to the destination node despite the nonexistence of an infrastructure and an end-to-end connectivity. However DTNs are susceptible to security threats such as DoS attacks targeted at disrupting relayed packets or dropping critical packets during a disaster rescue operation. DoS attacks consist of blackhole, grayhole, wormhole, packet flooding attacks etc. The scope of this paper is to study the impacts of blackhole and packet flooding attacks in a post disaster communication network using DTN. Various performance metrics in DTN have been used to study the impacts of different DoS attacks in DTN and a comprehensive analysis is presented.
