Security analysis and secured access design for networks of image remote sensing

Abstract

The secured access is studied in this paper for the network of the image remote sensing. Each sensor in this network encounters the information security when uploading information of the images wirelessly from the sensor to the central collection point. In order to enhance the sensing quality for the remote uploading, the passive reflection surface technique is employed. If one eavesdropper that exists nearby this sensor is keeping on accessing the same networks, he may receive the same image from this sensor. Our goal in this paper is to improve the SNR of legitimate collection unit while cut down the SNR of the eavesdropper as much as possible by adaptively adjust the uploading power from this sensor to enhance the security of the remote sensing images. In order to achieve this goal, the secured energy efficiency performance is theoretically analyzed with respect to the number of the passive reflection elements by calculating the instantaneous performance over the channel fading coefficients. Based on this theoretical result, the secured access is formulated as a mathematical optimization problem by adjusting the sensor uploading power as the unknown variables with the objective of the energy efficiency maximization while satisfying any required maximum data rate of the eavesdropper sensor. Finally, the analytical expression is theoretically derived for the optimum uploading power. Numerical simulations verify the design approach.
