“…Among the available security protection mechanisms for WMSN, cryptography is an effective technique that can provide confidentiality, integrity and authenticity to sensed data and sensor nodes [8][9][10]. In short, cryptography is the set of techniques for transforming original unprotected information into a set of unreadable secure data, which can only be properly read by the correct recipient.…”

Wireless multimedia sensor networks will play a central role in the Internet of Things world, providing content-rich information for an uncountable number of monitoring and control scenarios. As more applications rely on multimedia data, security concerns gain attention, and new approaches arise to provide security for such networks. However, the usual resource constraints of processing, memory and the energy of multimedia-based sensors have brought different challenges for data encryption, which have driven the development of different security approaches. In this context, this article presents the state-of-the-art of cryptography in wireless multimedia sensor networks, surveying innovative works in this area and discussing promising research directions.

“…For example, Cellular Message Encryption Algorithm has been used in cellular networks [8] and KASUMI has been used in 3G networks [9] while wireless local area networks (WLANs) have adopted Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) [10], Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) [11]. However, the traditional cryptographic methods may not be feasible to WSNs due to the following constraints: 1) the limited battery power of sensor nodes; (2) the inferior computational capability of sensor nodes and (3) the difficulty of managing distributed sensor nodes in a centralized way, which is however necessary for many encryption algorithms [12]. …”

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play an important role in Cyber Physical Social Sensing (CPSS) systems. An eavesdropping attack is one of the most serious threats to WSNs since it is a prerequisite for other malicious attacks. In this paper, we propose a novel anti-eavesdropping mechanism by introducing friendly jammers to wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In particular, we establish a theoretical framework to evaluate the eavesdropping risk of WSNs with friendly jammers and that of WSNs without jammers. Our theoretical model takes into account various channel conditions such as the path loss and Rayleigh fading, the placement schemes of jammers and the power controlling schemes of jammers. Extensive results show that using jammers in WSNs can effectively reduce the eavesdropping risk. Besides, our results also show that the appropriate placement of jammers and the proper assignment of emitting power of jammers can not only mitigate the eavesdropping risk but also may have no significant impairment to the legitimate communications.

“…In turn, key agreement protocols like Diffie-Hellman and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are protection measures used in [12,16,[20][21][22]. Such trend is expected since protection mechanisms related to cryptographic premises are cornerstones for implementing secure systems [32]. However, the management of shared secret keys can be complex and expensive in practical scenarios [23].…”

Modern systems are increasingly dependent on the integration of physical processes and information technologies. This trend is remarkable in applications involving sensor networks, cyberphysical systems, and Internet of Things. Despite its complexity, such integration results in physical context information that can be used to improve security, especially authentication. In this paper, we show that entities sharing the same physical context can use it for establishing a secure communication channel and protecting each other against external attacks. We present such approach proposing a theoretical model for generating unique bitstreams. Two different protocols are suggested. Each one is evaluated using probabilistic analysis and simulation. In the end, we implement the authentication mechanism in a case study using networks radio signal as physical event generator. The results demonstrate the performance of each of the protocols and their suitability for applications in real world.
