Sensor networks are ideal candidates for a wide range
of applications, such as monitoring of critical
infrastructures, data acquisition in hazardous
environments, and military operations. It is
necessary to guarantee the security and resilience of
sensor networks (as well as their applications) as
they become more and more popular. Despite many
security schemes have been proposed to protect
building blocks such as routing and key management,
some other building blocks (e.g., mobile sink and
time synchronization) are largely ignored. This book,
therefore, provides security building blocks for
sensor networks and develops a potential killer
application for sensor networks. The two proposed
security building blocks will help the sensor
networks tolerate mobile sink compromises and be
resilient against attacks on the time
synchronization, respectively. SVATS, a
sensor-network-based vehicle anti-theft system, is
designed to address the limitations of high cost,
high false-alarm rate and the easy disabling
drawbacks of the current vehicle theft tracking and
alarming systems. This system can detect vehicle
theft within seconds and track stolen vehicles as
well.
