Secure Data Aggregation

Even in difficult places to reach, the new networking technique allows the easy deployment of sensor networks, although these wireless sensor networks confront a lot of constraints. The major constraint is related to the quality of information sent by the network. The wireless sensor networks use different methods to achieve data to the base station. Data aggregation is an important one, used by these wireless sensor networks. But this aggregated data can be subject to several types of attacks and provides security is necessary to resist against malicious attacks, secure communication between severely resource constrained sensor nodes while maintaining the flexibility of the topology changes. Recently, several secure data aggregation schemes have been proposed for wireless sensor networks, it provides better security compared with traditional aggregation. In this paper, we try to focus on giving a brief statement of the various approaches used for the purpose of secure data aggregation in wireless sensor networks.

Secure Data Aggregation

Data aggregation based on in-network processing is useful in improving the communications overhead in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) by reducing the overall number of packets communicated to the base station. However, due to the fusion of data items sourced at different nodes into a single one, the security of the aggregated data as well as that of the aggregating node, demands critical investigation. This paper observes that though there have been substantial numbers of research attempts recently in proposing techniques for secure data aggregation, there is still a need for a coherent, integrated framework for secure data aggregation. It proposes such an integrated framework for secure data aggregation in this paper. The proposed framework implements a secure data aggregation protocol, offering the attributes viz. confidentiality, privacy, authentication, robustness, as well as data integrity using a defined data aggregation topology. In addition to that, the proposed framework is based on a zero configuration protocol that supports a generation of a defined aggregation topology and a key exchange procedure. This work supports the framework with detailed security analysis and performance evaluation on TinyOS platform using TOSSIM as the base simulator. Through humble observations, this is an unique attempt that integrates the support for security features, topology generation and key management in a single, secure data aggregation protocol; substantiating the proposal with elaborate experimental evaluation, too.

Abstract In Wireless sensor network, the major issues are security and energy consumption. There may be several numbers of malicious nodes present in sensor networks. Several techniques have been proposed by the researchers to identify these malicious nodes. WSNs contain many sensor nodes that sense their environment and also transmit their data via multi-hop communication schemes to the base station. These sensor nodes provides power supply using battery and the energy consumption of these batteries must be low. Securing the data is to avoid attacks on these nodes and data communication. The aggregation of data helps to minimize the amount of messages transmitted within the network and thus reduces overall network energy consumption. Moreover, the base station may distinguish the encrypted and aggregated data based on the encryption keys during the decryption of the aggregated data. In this paper, two aspects of the problem is concerned, we investigate the efficiency of data aggregation: first, how to develop cluster-based routing algorithms to achieve the lowest energy consumption for aggregating data, and second, security issues in wsn. By using Network simulator2 (NS2) this scheme is simulated. In the proposed scheme, energy consumption, packet delivery ratio and throughput is analyzed. The proposed clustering, routing, and protection protocol based on the MCSDA algorithm shows significant improvement over the state-of - the-art protocol.
