“…NerveNet was originally designed and developed in 2008 as an access network for providing context-aware services with the use of sensors and actuators [2]- [7]. Since 2011, under a project led by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications to strengthen information and communication networks, we have conducted R&D to upgrade NerveNet and verified its scalability and stability using a large-scale test bed of approximately 30 base stations constructed on two campuses of Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan [8].…”

SUMMARY From past experience of the large-scale cutoff of existing networks as a result of the East Japan Great Earthquake and tsunamis, and from previous research on stabilizing ad hoc networks that lack control mechanisms, we have strengthened the resilience of NerveNet. NerveNet was originally designed and developed as an access network for providing context-aware services with the use of sensors and actuators. Thus, at present, it has the capability to enable resilient information sharing and communications in a region even if access to the Internet is impossible in emergency situations. NerveNet is composed of single or multiple base stations interconnected by a variety of Ethernet-based wired or wireless transmission systems. A network is formed using line, star, tree, or mesh topology. Network and data management works in each base station in a distributed manner, resulting in the resilience of this system. In collaboration with the town of Shirahama in Wakayama prefecture in Japan, we have been conducting a pilot test with the NerveNet testbed. The test includes nine base stations interconnected by 5.6-GHz Wi-Fi and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), providing tourists and residents with Internet access. In the future, we expect that not only NerveNet but also other novel technologies will contribute to solving social problems and enriching people's lives. key words: resilient network, disaster, multihop network, mesh network, ad hoc network

“…1, SU is a mobile terminal, and collects information from sensor 1 and securely transfers it to its private CSG 1 when it is located in SN 1 . NerveNet assures secure communication among SU, CSG, and BS [8]. The SU therefore has control of the collection and storage of sensor information.…”

“…Core optical networks serve for global transit of data and regional networks are edge networks designed to provide services to local residents and to people visiting an area. With the regional network in the AKARI project, we are conceiving a platform network architecture called NerveNet [8], [9], [10], which accommodates diverse services involving future applications of mobile terminals and sensors. The notable feature of NerveNet is that most of its communications are performed in a local area without traversing a global transit network, since it is observed that many individual or community services are oriented to users in a region.…”

The new generation network (NWGN) is a future network designed in Japan from a clean state, composed of core optical networks and regional networks. Within the NWGN, research is underway on NerveNet, a prospective regional network that accommodates ubiquitous sensors. Achieving reliable and accountable information collection, processing, and provision over NWGN are challenging and fundamental issues in promoting the success of the sensor industry. As a first step toward reliable information provision, we investigate protection of privacy in sensor information collection for future individual-related sensor applications. The privacy requirement impels the logic separation between sensor networks (SNs) and the communication platform in the design of NerveNet architecture. To enable sensors to be shared by sensor service providers (SSPs) and reliably interact with sensor users (SUs), we designed a secure sensor sharing framework (S3F), wherein Ciphertext-Policy Attributebased Encryption (CP-ABE) is utilized for issuing of flexible assertion authorization. In S3F, SSPs that share sensors can search preferred sensors and provide assertion authorization to SUs.

We are designing a regional network for New Generation Network (NWGN), which is a future network vision. Regional network needs strong security protections to enable it to be robust under various attacks, such as impersonation attack, replay attack, and illegal modification. To disable these attacks, we identify the design requirements and then propose a proactive and distributed authentication framework (PDAF), where a novel entity called regional network key server (RNKS) is introduced for ID/key generation in this network. By the proposed PDAF, the automatic trustworthy registration, distributed access authentication, handover authentication and mutual authentication can be achieved by end devices, and meanwhile trustworthy information dissemination and transmission can be realized for networking devices without involving trust third parties (TTPs).
