Ghost-in-ZigBee: Energy Depletion Attack on ZigBee-Based Wireless Networks

Ghost-in-the-Wireless: Energy Depletion Attack on ZigBee

ZigBee has been recently drawing a lot of attention as a promising solution for ubiquitous computing. The ZigBee devices are normally resource-limited, making the network susceptible to a variety of security threats. This paper presents a severe attack on ZigBee networks termed as ghost, which leverages the underlying vulnerabilities of the IEEE 802.15.4 security suites to deplete the energy of...

Penetration of Zigbee-based Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless Sensor Networks are becoming popular as a simple means of collecting data by public utilities, motor vehicle manufacturers and other organisations. Unfortunately the devices on such networks are often insecure by default, which presents problems in terms of the integrity of the data provided across those networks. This paper explores a range of attacks that were successful on a network...

Zigbee Based Wireless Energy Surveillance System for Energy Savings

In this paper, zigbee communication based wireless energy surveillance system is presented. The proposed system consists of multiple energy surveillance devices and an energy surveillance monitor. Each different standby power-off value of electric device is set automatically by using learning function of energy surveillance device. Thus adaptive standby power-off function provides user convenie...

A Wireless Subway Collision Avoidance System Based on Zigbee Networks

A wireless subway collision avoidance system based on zigbee network is proposed in this paper. In the proposal, all the zigbee nodes are divided into two types, fixed nodes and mobile nodes. The fixed nodes are deployed in tree topology networks overlapped with each other along the subway tunnel; the mobile nodes are installed on the trains. The core idea is as soon as a fixed node establishin...
