We identify security challenges related to the communication between solar-powered wireless sensors. In this paper, we focus on detecting and preventing masquerade, packet dropping and data forging attacks. These attacks result from software or hardware vulnerabilities. We propose a solution to make software installed on sensors tamper-resistant by using Trusted Platform Module to preventthese attacks.

Abstract


We identify security challenges related to the communication between solar-powered wireless sensors. In this paper, we focus on detecting and preventing masquerade, packet dropping and data forging attacks. These attacks result from software or hardware vulnerabilities. We propose a solution to make software installed on sensors tamper-resistant by using Trusted Platform Module to preventthese attacks.
