“…One of the most popular code dissemination protocols in WSNs is Deluge [ 19 ], which is the de facto standard [ 1 , 4 , 5 , 10 , 12 , 13 ] and has already been implemented in TinyOS. As shown in Figure 1 a, Deluge splits the code image into fixed-size pages, each of which is then divided into fixed-size packets for pipelining and spatial multiplexing.…”

“…Chen et al [ 12 ] provides source authentication by using the Merkle hash tree and provides confidentiality through effective XORs coding and multiple one-way hash chains. SecNRCC [ 13 ] provides an immediate authentication with confidentiality consideration by combining the hash tree and the one-way key chain. SIMAGE [ 22 ] is a secure code dissemination which adapts to the link quality through dynamic packet sizing.…”

“…Since WSNs are mostly deployed in unattended and hostile environments, secure code dissemination is essential to prevent attackers from injecting malicious code into the WSN. There have been a lot of works on secure code dissemination [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ] whose main goal is to provide source authentication , which implies that each sensor node must be able to assure that the received code image is really sent by a base station (BS) and not modified in transit. They attain this goal by applying existing source authentication schemes, such as μTESLA [ 14 ], digital signatures and the hash chains, into code dissemination.…”

Code dissemination in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a procedure for distributing a new code image over the air in order to update programs. Due to the fact that WSNs are mostly deployed in unattended and hostile environments, secure code dissemination ensuring authenticity and integrity is essential. Recent works on dynamic packet size control in WSNs allow enhancing the energy efficiency of code dissemination by dynamically changing the packet size on the basis of link quality. However, the authentication tokens attached by the base station become useless in the next hop where the packet size can vary according to the link quality of the next hop. In this paper, we propose three source authentication schemes for code dissemination supporting dynamic packet size. Compared to traditional source authentication schemes such as μTESLA and digital signatures, our schemes provide secure source authentication under the environment, where the packet size changes in each hop, with smaller energy consumption.

“…In the last paper, ‘SecNRCC: A Loss‐tolerant Secure Network Reprogramming with Confidentiality Consideration for Wireless Sensor Networks’ , Xie et al propose a secure network reprogramming system called SecNRCC for dynamically reprogrammable wireless sensor networks. In SecNRCC, a lightweight authentication method is introduced for the reboot control command.…”

The emergence of Web as a ubiquitous platform for innovations has laid the foundation for the rapid growth of the Internet. Side-by-side, the use of mobile and wireless devices such as PDAs, laptops, and cell phones for accessing the Internet has paved the ways for related technologies to flourish through recent developments. However, development of these technologies and systems adds complexity due to the performance, fault tolerance, and availability requirements. These issues are required to be explored for the effective design and implementation of high-performance modern computing systems.In this special issue, we are delighted to present ten technical papers on resilient, highly available, and fault-tolerant Internet and distributed systems, with a particular focus on the practical experiences with the design and implementation of related technologies as well as their theoretical perspectives. These papers were selected out of 80 submissions from 17 countries in the 6th International Conference on Internet and Distributed Computing Systems (IDCS 2013). The selection has been very rigorous, and only the best papers in the conference were selected.Performance and dependability evaluation plays a key role in the design of a broad range of systems, especially when strict requirements need to be met. In the first paper, 'Variable Operating Conditions in Distributed Systems: Modeling and Evaluation' [1], Longo et al. present an analytical method that allows the study of a class of systems where different operating conditions alternate changing the stochastic behavior of the system components but still preserving the continuity of the performance and dependability quantities to investigate.In the second paper, 'Supporting Personal Security Using Participatory Sensing' [2], Carreno et al. propose a mobile collaborative application, named Personal Guardian, which used by civilians while walking in urban areas. The application is focused on crime prevention, and it implements participatory sensing to help people be aware of the risks that appear to exist in a certain place. This is an interesting application on information feeding process and the unattended delivery of awareness information about personal security.In the third paper, 'Self-healing Wireless Sensor Networks' [3], A. Miyaji and K. Omote propose three self-healing schemes to provide availability in wireless sensor networks. This is very important for long-term use of wireless sensor networks. These self-healing schemes are effective and efficient according to the evaluations done by the authors.Smooth data streaming in wireless sensor networks is a challenging problem. In the fourth paper, 'A Slot Demand based Path Reservation Approach for the Timely and Reliable Delivery of Bursty Traffic in WSNs' [4], P. V. Vinh and H. Oh propose an efficient approach to deliver bursty data reliably by reserving time slots to transmit the required packets on all the paths from the selected multimedia nodes to the server. The nodes that are not on the selected paths ar...
