SeRLoc: Secure Range-Independent Localization for Wireless Sensor Networks
Overview In many applications of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), sensors are deployed un-tethered in hostile environments. For location-aware WSN applications, it is essential to ensure that sensors can determine their location, even in the presence of malicious adversaries. This paper addresses the problem of enabling sensors of WSN to determine their location in an un-trusted environment. Since localization schemes based on distance estimation are expensive for the resource constrained sensors, it proposes a range-independent localization algorithm called SeRLoc. SeRLoc is distributed algorithm and does not require any communication among sensors. In addition, it shows that SeRLoc is robust against severe WSN attacks, such as the wormhole attack, the sybil attack and compromised sensors.
