“…The fake sources and real sources send packets simultaneously to confuse the adversary. The fake source packet routing strategy has been adopted in many existing protocols including the dummy packet injection scheme [12], the dynamic fake sources-based algorithm [16], and the hybrid online dynamic single path routing algorithm [18]. Similarly, the fake source packet routing strategy is adopted in the forward random walk and bidirectional tree schemes [29], the fake network traffic-based scheme [30], the timed efficient source privacy preservation scheme [31], and the dummy uniform distribution, dummy adaptive distribution, and controlled dummy adaptive distribution protocols [32].…”

“…However, to effectively obfuscate an adversary, the protocols often distribute a large amount of fake packet traffic in the network. Consequently, the protocols incur exhaustive energy consumption, routing congestion problems, packet collisions, and packet loss events [2,13,[17][18][19]. As a result, the packet delivery ratio (PDR) and end-to-end delay (EED) performance of the protocols are affected [11].…”

Traffic analysis attacks are common in monitoring wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In the attacks, adversaries analyze the traffic pattern to obtain critical information such as the location information of a source node. Fake source packet routing protocols are often used to ensure source location privacy (SLP) protection. The protocols rely on broadcasting fake packets from fake sources concurrently with the transmission of real packets from the real source nodes to obfuscate the adversaries. However, fake source packet routing protocols have demonstrated some performance limitations including high energy consumption, low packet delivery ratio (PDR), and long end-to-end delay (EED). In this study, two existing fake source packet routing protocols are considered. Then two new phantom-based SLP routing protocols are proposed to address the limitations. Each proposed protocol introduces a two-level phantom routing strategy to ensure two adversary confusion phases. When the adversaries perform traffic analysis attacks on the packet routes, they encounter two levels of obfuscation. Simulation results establish that the proposed protocols have superior performance features. The protocols guarantee strong SLP protection throughout the WSN domain with controlled energy consumption, PDR, and EED. Furthermore, the proposed protocols achieve more practical results under varied network configurations.

“…An example is Source Location Privacy (SLP) [6], where a WSN is intended to be deployed over a large outside area to monitor valuable assets in which the network should not reveal the asset's location by the path messages take. A sparse network is required because some techniques (such as [5]) require sufficient spatial redundancy to provide effective privacy. One option to reduce the density in a network is for nodes to be turned off.…”

For research in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and the Internet of Things (IoT), while many protocols are either analysed mathematically or simulated to assess performance, it has become necessary that they are tested on hardware in real world environments. Algorithms are often validated in either (i) a densely connected network or (ii) a sparsely connected network. The majority of existing testbeds have implemented dense networks, making evaluation and validation of certain protocols, such as spatially-redundant source location privacy (SLP) protocols, challenging. We explore the use of transmission power to achieve network sparsity and present the results of such experiments performed on the FlockLab testbed. Based upon our experience in using FlockLab, we also identify additional aspects of testbed performance that need to be monitored to ensure reliable and reproducible results.

Sheltered communication is a precise significant concern in any kind of network. This research focuses on secure and reliable wireless message arrangement. Through relating trust based and cryptography based approach we can progress wireless communication security and reliability effectually of Advanced Metering Infrastructure. Wireless Sensor Network used as a communiqué arrangement for AMI.Nodes(Sensors) are employed intended for a Home Area Network around 10-60.The performance of security and reliability calculated through energy depletion, delay, packet transfer ratio or packet delivery ratio (PDR),throughput and overhead of the sensor nodes. Diverse categories of attacks arises on wireless communication infrastructure. This research deliberated Denial of Service (DoS) type attack. Through linking Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for secure routing and authenticated anonymous secure routing (AASR) for reliable route routing tries to improve reliability and security of wireless communication infrastructure of AMI using NS2(Network Simulator2) simulation platform. Operative routing delivers radical change in enactment of wireless communication infrastructure. Proposed AASR protocol and ECC protocol admirably delivers virtuous results compared to surviving protocols.
