“…Nia and Jha [92] have discussed the IoT security at three levels namely at the edge node level, communication level, and edge computing level and have emphasised the dangers of SCA attack at each level. While Roosta [96] discussed the importance of security in sensor networks, the authors of [97][98][99][100][101] have briefly surveyed on the different physical attacks that are possible in these networks thereby emphasising the possibility of SCA in sensor devices.…”

Smart or intelligent sensors are integrated physical units embedded with sensors, processors, and communication devices. The sensors also known as edge nodes form the lower-most tier in the internet of things architecture. These devices rely on cryptographic technique to ensure 'root of trust' for the users. The implementation attacks namely side-channel attacks (SCAs) pose a dangerous threat for the cryptographic implementation in the edge nodes since the attacks are undetectable by nature. Among the different categories of SCAs proposed in the literature, power analysis attacks (PAAs) are vastly studied and widely employed because it can be mounted with relatively inexpensive equipment. In this study, the different categories of PAAs along with the countermeasures are reviewed in detail. The impact of the SCA on the edge nodes is examined along with a case study on medical sensor nodes.

Abstract-Rapid development of Wireless sensor network led to applications ranging from industry to military fields. These sensors are deployed in the military base station such as battlefield surveillances. The important issues like security & DoS attacks play crucial role for wireless sensor network. Due to the limitations of resources, traditional security scheme cannot be employed efficiently. Therefore, designing a framework that can operate securely using smart intelligence technique is the best option. In this paper, an efficient way of detecting an intrusion using Flooding and Ant colony is proposed. The flooding technique enables the master agents to track the activity of intruder tampering the part of the network. The ACO identifies the path followed by the nodes and also the intruder, who wants to jam the whole wireless sensor network. The architecture strategically enables the Bait agents to detect the intruders threatening the network. The proposed framework is designed for the military station. It helps the base station to detect the intrusion and decide whether the activity is normal or terrestrial and send the signal to the nearest missile station situated near the intrusion location and destroy it in minimum time. The process of detecting the intrusion earlier not only helps to learn future attacks, but also a defense counter measures.

It is essential to design a protocol to allow sensor nodes to attest to their trustworthiness for missioncritical applications based on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). However, it is a challenge to evaluate the trustworthiness without appropriate hardware support. Hence, we present a hardware-based remote attestation protocol to tackle the problem within WSNs. In our design, each sensor node is equipped with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) which plays the role of a trusted anchor. We start with the formulation of remote attestation and its security. The complete protocol for both single-hop and multi-hop attestations is then demonstrated. Results show the new protocol is effective, efficient, and secure.
