Secure Integration of Wireless Sensor Networks into Applications

Trefois, Christophe
2008

Wireless sensors are small devices that are able to gather, process and deliver information from a physical environment to an external system. By doing so, they open new applications in different domains, such as healthcare, traffc control, defense and agriculture. The integration of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) with Business Applications (BA) raises technical and security related challenges. Existing approaches target technical issues such as interoperability between WSN and BAs or heterogeneity of acquired sensor data. In this work, we start by performing an analysis of the risks that such an integration of WSNs with BAs may present using the NIST SP 800-30 recommendations. We then introduce and analyze an effcient security scheme that does not use complex operations and guarantees end-to-end confidentiality of sensor data. Finally, we provide an in silico proof-of-concept and validate it using a real WSN co-developed with Cisco Systems France.
