“…Remote Attestation for Wireless Sensors has also been implemented by sending executable code to the sensor node. The node executes the code which returns measurements to the Base station [14]. This method appears similar to the one presented in this work, however, in this paper we provide remote attestation for a x86 based computer which has many nuances like protected code sections while sensor nodes do not.…”

Abstract. Integrity of computing platforms is paramount. A platform is as secure as the applications executing on it. All applications are created with some inherent vulnerability or loophole. Attackers can analyze the presence of flaws in a particular binary and exploit them. Traditional virus scanners are also binaries which can be attacked by malware. This paper implements a method known as Remote Attestation entirely in software to attest the integrity of a process using a trusted external server. The trusted external server issues a challenge to the client machine which responds to the challenge. The response determines the integrity of the application.

“…It is further possible to couple such background validation steps with other operational aspects of the device, such that if the device is found to be compromised, secure hardware on the device (needed to bring up and maintain security associations with remote entities) will prevent the local device from establishing and maintaining security associations with the remote entities. In [85], the authors described some methods to provide remote device attestation.…”

Abstract-A smart grid is a new form of electricity network with high fidelity power-flow control, self-healing, and energy reliability and energy security using digital communications and control technology. To upgrade an existing power grid into a smart grid, it requires significant dependence on intelligent and secure communication infrastructures. It requires security frameworks for distributed communications, pervasive computing and sensing technologies in smart grid. However, as many of the communication technologies currently recommended to use by a smart grid is vulnerable in cyber security, it could lead to unreliable system operations, causing unnecessary expenditure, even consequential disaster to both utilities and consumers. In this paper, we summarize the cyber security requirements and the possible vulnerabilities in smart grid communications and survey the current solutions on cyber security for smart grid communications.

“…However, this scheme will not work in static sensor networks where sensor nodes do not move after deployment. Software-attestation based schemes have been proposed to detect the subverted software modules of sensor nodes (Park & Shin, 2005;Seshadri et al, 2004;Shaneck et al, 2005;. Specifically, the base station checks whether the flash image codes have been maliciously altered by performing attestation randomly chosen portions of image codes or the entire codes in (Park & Shin, 2005;Seshadri et al, 2004;Shaneck et al, 2005).…”

Wireless sensor networks are vulnerable to node capture attacks because sensor nodes are usually deployed in unattended manner. Once attacker captures sensor nodes, he can compromise them and launch various types of attacks with those compromised nodes. Therefore, node capture attacks are hazardous and should be detected as soon as possible to reduce the harm incurred by them. To meet this need, we propose a node capture detection scheme in wireless sensor networks. Our scheme detects the captured sensor nodes by using the sequential analysis. We analytically show that our scheme detects node capture attacks in robust and efficient manner.
