Up to few years ago, FPGAs were not suitable to develop smart sensor systems because of power consumption and programming effort. Modern technologies and programming techniques overcame these limitations. Furthermore thanks to flexible and efficient reconfiguration, FPGAs can be used as configurable wireless sensor nodes and they are very promising in the protection of critical infrastructures. In the recent years, particular emphasis was given to pervasive wireless sensor nodes that enabled the widespread of innovative applications for smartgrid monitoring and mobile cyber-physical infrastructures; although security remains one of the main open challenges to face. In this paper we will analyze all potentialities of adopting FPGAs in protecting Cyber Physical Infrastructures by illustrating with simple scenarios how they can be used to improve security and robustness of heterogeneous networks.

Abstract-In recent years, extensive research has been conducted on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) due to their wide range of potential applications ranging from commercial to critical military and health care applications. For most of these applications, security is an important requirement. However, security mechanisms in WSNs differ from traditional ad-hoc networks due to their energy and resource constraints. Due to these constraints, the sensor nodes are vulnerable to security threats because the traditional security measures are not enough to protect these nodes during information dissemination in WSNs. Thus, in this paper we have studied TinySec security measures; Authentication-only (TinySec-Auth) and Authentication Encryption (TinySec-AE) in order to evaluate the suitability of these security measures for WSN applications. We have evaluated these TinySec mechanisms in terms of packet transmission time, average number of packet received and energy consumption. The simulation results show that TinySec-AE consumed more energy and required more time to transmit packet in comparing to TinySec-Auth due to higher computational time and longer packet size for extra encryption mechanism.

“…Such feature opens for several problems, one of the most industry-sensitive ones is the definition of proper design methodologies able to define physical and technological parameters in order to fulfill both functional and non-functional requirements. In fact, only limiting to the possible network topologies, a slight difference in the network configuration can determine a great variation of non-functional requirements such as performance, security and dependability [1], [2], [3], [4]. Moreover, designers ask for a way to evaluate different node distributions as they influence network connectivity and sensing coverage.…”

Sensor Networks are required to be properly designed in order to avoid resource waste and optimize their lifetime. Large monitoring applications require proper methodologies and tools supporting the design, when multiple solutions increase the complexity of this task. Indeed, different parameters affect the performance of a solution, as node distribution, sensing coverage, battery usage, etc.A compositional modelling approach can provide early measures, allowing to evaluate and compare different solutions since the design phase. The main contribution of the paper is the definition of a general modelling framework to integrate simple models representing the main components and features of sensor networks. A library for specific sensor devices have been developed, using the Stochastic Activity Network (SAN) formalism. This approach is shown to be compositional since the creation of complex networks can be accomplished by simple subcomponents aggregation. With this approach, obtained models can analyse the dynamic evolution of the overall network, even if complex. First experimental results are also reported and discussed.
