Monitoring Systems White Papers
Security in Wireless Sensor Networks
Overview Wireless sensor networks are in use for a wide variety of applications: ocean and wildlife monitoring, earthquake monitoring, manufacturing, building safety monitoring, and many military applications. An even wider spectrum of future applications can be envisioned, such as real-time traffic monitoring, pollution tracking, home surveillance, fire and people sensors in buildings and other smart environments, wildfire tracking, water quality sensors, and continuous heart-rate monitoring. A major benefit of these systems is that they can perform in-network processing to reduce large streams of raw data into useful aggregated information. It is critical to protect this information. It is also exciting to realize that since wireless sensor networks are in their infancy it has the opportunity to design security into the systems from the beginning.
