Wireless Sensor Data Fusion for Critical Infrastructure Security
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are being investigated by the research community for resilient distributed monitoring. Multiple sensor data fusion has proven as a valid technique to improve detection effectiveness and reliability. In this paper we propose a theoretical framework for correlating events detected by WSN in the context of critical infrastructure protection. The aim is to develop a decision support and early warning system used to effectively face security threats by exploiting the advantages of WSN. The research addresses two relevant issues: the development of a middleware for the integration of heterogeneous WSN (SeNsIM, Sensor Networks Integration and Management) and the design of a model-based event correlation engine for the early detection of security threats (DETECT, DEcision Triggering Event Composer & Tracker). The paper proposes an overall system architecture for the integration of the SeNsIM and DETECT frameworks and provides example scenarios in which the system features can be exploited.

متن کاملSecuring Cluster-heads in Wireless Sensor Networks by a Hybrid Intrusion Detection System Based on Data Mining
Cluster-based Wireless Sensor Network (CWSN) is a kind of WSNs that because of avoiding long distance communications, preserve the energy of nodes and so is attractive for related applications. The criticality of most applications of WSNs and also their unattended nature, makes sensor nodes often susceptible to many types of attacks. Based on this fact, it is clear that cluster heads (CHs) are ...
