Privacy preserving secure expansive aggregation with malicious node identification in linear wireless sensor networks

Abstract

The Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) used for the monitoring applications like pipelines carrying oil, water, and gas; perimeter surveillance; border monitoring; and subway tunnel monitoring form linearWSNs. Here, the infrastructure being monitored inherently forms linearity (straight line through the placement of sensor nodes). Therefore, suchWSNs are called linear WSNs. These applications are security critical because the data being communicated can be used for malicious purposes. The contemporary research of WSNs data security cannot fit in directly to linear WSN as only by capturing few nodes, the adversary can disrupt the entire service of linear WSN. Therefore, we propose a data aggregation scheme that takes care of privacy, confidentiality, and integrity of data. In addition, the scheme is resilient against node capture attack and collusion attacks. There are several schemes detecting the malicious nodes. However, the proposed scheme also provides an identification of malicious nodes with lesser key storage requirements. Moreover, we provide an analysis of communication cost regarding the number of messages being communicated. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed data aggregation scheme is the first lightweight scheme that achieves privacy and verification of data, resistance against node capture and collusion attacks, and malicious node identification in linear WSNs.
