Lightweight Source Authentication Mechanisms for Group Communications in Wireless Sensor Networks

In this paper, we present novel symmetric-key-based authentication schemes which exhibit low computation and communication authentication overhead. Our schemes are built upon the integration of a reputation mechanism, a Bloom filter, and a key binary tree for the distribution and updating of the authentication keys. Analytical evaluation of the proposed authentication schemes shows that the estimated average number of concatenated message authentication code in a packet from time 0 till time t is 4pt, with p is the probability that a key is corrupted. Our schemes are lightweight and efficient with respect to computation, communication and energy overhead.

Performance evaluation of key disclosure delay-based schemes in wireless sensor networks

This service allows senders to broadcast messages to multiple receivers in a secure way. This paper evaluates the integration of staggered authentication in multi-level µTesla source authentication protocol called staggered multilevel µTesla. These two protocols are evaluated in terms of authentication delay, authentication probability, number of forged packets in the receiver's buffer, delay of forged packets in the receiver's buffer, memory, and energy consumption overhead. Simulation results show that these two protocols introduce negligible overhead without impeding the system performance. Moreover, staggered multi-level µTesla achieves better performance compared to multi-level µTesla, when reducing the average number and the delay of forged packets in the receiver's buffer.

Because sensor networks pose unique challenges, traditional security methods, commonly used in enterprise networks, cannot be directly applied. In particular, broadcast source authentication is a critical security requirement in wireless sensor networks. Therefore, formal validation of source authentication protocols in wireless sensor networks has become an

Secure Verification of Location Claims on a Vehicular Safety Application

In this context, information such as position, direction, and speed, is often broadcast by vehicles so as to facilitate fast multi-hop propagation of possible alert messages. Unfortunately, a malicious vehicle can inject bogus information or cheat about its position. In this work, we analyze the impact of a position cheating attack on an alert message application. We show that this weakness we found could be leveraged by an adversary in a very effective way. Furthermore, our analysis leads us to design a countermeasure to this threat. Finally, we run a set of simulations which confirm our findings.

Fast and Secure Multihop Broadcast Solutions for Intervehicular Communication

In this context, many possible IVC applications share the common need for fast multihop message propagation, including information such as position, direction, speed, etc. Yet, it is crucial for such data exchange system to be resilient to security attacks. Conversely, a malicious vehicle might inject incorrect information into the inter-vehicle wireless links leading to life and money losses, or to any other sort of adversarial selfishness (e.g., traffic redirection for the adversarial's benefit). In this work we analyze attacks to the state of the art IVC based safety applications. Furthermore, this analysis leads us to design a Fast and Secure Multi-hop Broadcast Algorithm (FS-MBA) for vehicular communication, which results resilient to the aforementioned attacks.

A secure alert messaging system for safe driving

As this application is based on fast multi-hop message propagation, including information such as position, direction, and speed, it is crucial for the data exchange system of the vehicular application to be resilient to security attacks. To make vehicular networks viable and acceptable to consumers, we have to design secure protocols that satisfy the requirements of the vehicular safety applications. The contribution of this work is threefold. First, we analyze the vulnerabilities of a representative approach named Fast Multi-hop Algorithm (FMBA) to the position cheating attack. Second, we devise a fast and secure inter-vehicular accident warning protocol which is resilient against the position cheating attack. Finally, an exhaustive simulation study shows the impact of the attack on the protocol FMBA on delaying the transmission of alert messages. Furthermore, we show that our secure solution is effective in mitigating the position cheating attack.
