Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are advanced applications in which the transportation industry is adapted to the information technology revolution. As an important development direction of ITS, the electronic toll collection (ETC) subsystem, which enables an efficient and speedy toll collection, has gained widespread popularity in the world. In an ETC system, toll transaction data are transmitted over intelligent transportation networks, which is vulnerable to eavesdropping, interfering, and tampering attacks. To address the above security problems, we proposed a chaotic stream cipher-based cryptographic scheme to realise secure data communications over wireless sensor network (WSN), which is a part of ITS. The proposed cryptographic scheme allowed ITS to achieve key negotiation and data encryption between sensor nodes in the WSN, whileas reduced computational costs and power consumption. Security analysis and experimental results showed that the proposed scheme could protect data transmission between wireless sensor nodes from being attacked, and significantly reduced the communication overhead for the whole system compared to the existing ECC_AES scheme, thus satisfying the real-time data transmission requirement of ITS.

“…An RSA-based asymmetric algorithm was used to solve the problem of information security in wireless sensor network [8]. This encryption algorithm contains two phrases: a sensor node to shake hand with another sensor node in which the two sensor nodes setup a session key; the use of the session key for data encryption.…”

Secure energy efficient load balancing multipath routing protocol with power management for wireless sensor networks

Wired network nodes have direct connectionwith the power source. But wireless sensor nodes depend on the on-board battery for power. Two different things can be done to increase the operational lifetime of the WS N. First one is efficient energy utilization. S econd one is attachment of power generating devices. This paper proceeds with efficient energy utilization by proposing a new multipath routing protocol called tS EL(S ecure Energy Efficient Load Balancing Multipath Routing Protocol with Transmission Power Adjustment). Single path routing protocols may lead to holes in the network due to improper load distribution among the nodes. Multi path routing protocols will lead to better load balancing than single path routing protocols. tS EL protocol selects node disjoint multiple paths and shares load among the paths effectively by following a new load sharing mechanism. tS EL provides security through RS A public key algorithm and MD5 hash algorithm.

“…Authors in [2] present an authenticated encryption scheme by using hashing method to ensure message integrity. In [5], the authors suggest using a combination of symmetric (shared key) and asymmetric (Public Key) encryption algorithms simultaneously to ensure secure protection of sensed data. As they also declared that: symmetric key cryptography can be easily extracted by an active attack.…”

In this paper, we investigate the facts of ensuring secure sensed data in a balanced energy network backbone, and propose Enhanced an Energy-efficient Data Privacy Protection Scheme for wireless sensor networks (E-EDPPS). In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), sensors may be deployed in an unpredictable environment where a limited energy of the sensor nodes has led to the development of E-EDPPS. It is a process of ensuring privacy and security to the sensed data as well as maximizing the network lifetime. Many schemes have been proposed using a symmetric key cryptography algorithm for securing data in WSNs. However, a current limitation of these schemes is that the symmetric key cryptography algorithms are vulnerable to node compromise attacks. To overcome this limitation, we propose a scheme of ensuring secure sensed data in a balanced energy network backbone based on a distance from the source node to base station. Specifically, a mechanism for checking data integrity has been proposed in this paper. For this purpose, we use the combined version of distance aware routing and data privacy protection technique. Also an optimal routing path is achieved by using an ant-colony optimization method for wireless sensor networks communication. Our analysis and simulation results show that E-EDPPS has a better performance through four abstract parameters: anonymity of the sensor nodes, confidentiality, authenticity and integrity of the actual sensed data. It also provides a good level for energy consumption as well as maximizing the network lifetime.
