A Secure and Efficient Framework for Data Transmission in Wireless Sensor Networks

---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract Large scale sensor networks are applied in various applications and the information which they collect are used in decision making for complicated infrastructure. Information combined from various sources through intermediate nodes that aggregate data. A harmful adversary may add extra nodes in network hence, persuading data reliable is critical for accurate decision making. Information provenance represents a key factor in evaluating reliable of sensor data. Provenance management for sensor networks introduces many challenging requirements like low in energy consumption and bandwidth consumption, storage efficiency and safe transmission. In this paper we introduce a single channel technique to secure transmit provenance for sensor data. The proposed technique relates on in-packet Bloom filters for encoding the provenance. We propose an effective mechanism for provenance construction and verification at base station. In additional, extending the safe provenance scheme with functionality to identify the packet drop attacks mount by harmful data forwarding nodes. Evaluate the introduced technique by both experimentally and analytically and the results prove the efficient and effective of low weight safe provenance technique scheme in identifying packet drop attacks and packet modifier.
