Cost management based security framework in mobile ad hoc networks

Security issues are always difficult to deal with in mobile ad hoc networks. People seldom studied the costs of those security schemes respectively and for some security methods designed and adopted beforehand, their effects are often investigated one by one. In fact, when facing certain attacks, different methods would respond individually and result in waste of resources. Making use of the cost management idea, we analyze the costs of security measures in mobile ad hoc networks and introduce a security framework based on security mechanisms cost management. Under the framework, the network system’s own tasks can be finished in time and the whole network’s security costs can be decreased. We discuss the process of security costs computation at each mobile node and in certain nodes groups. To show how to use the proposed security framework in certain applications, we give examples of DoS attacks and costs computation of defense methods. The results showed that more secure environment can be achieved based on the security framework in mobile ad hoc networks.

Cyber Resilience through Real-Time Threat Analysis in Information Security

This paper examines how cybersecurity is developing and how it relates to more conventional information security. Although information security and cyber security are sometimes used synonymously, this study contends that they are not the same. The concept of cyber security is explored, which goes beyond protecting information resources to include a wider variety of assets, including people [1]. Protecting information assets is the main goal of traditional information security, with consideration to the human element and how people fit into the security process. On the other hand, cyber security adds a new level of complexity, as people might unintentionally contribute to or become targets of cyberattacks. This aspect presents moral questions since it is becoming more widely accepted that society has a duty to protect weaker members of society, including children [1]. The study emphasizes how important cyber security is on a larger scale, with many countries creating plans and laws to counteract cyberattacks. Nevertheless, a lot of these sources frequently neglect to define the differences or the relationship between information security and cyber security [1]. The paper focus on differentiating between cybersecurity and information security on a larger scale. The study also highlights other areas of cybersecurity which includes defending people, social norms, and vital infrastructure from threats that arise from online in addition to information and technology protection. It contends that ethical issues and the human factor are becoming more and more important in protecting assets in the digital age, and that cyber security is a paradigm shift in this regard [1].

Web Security and Log Management: An Application Centric Perspective

The World Wide Web has been an environment with many security threats and lots of reported cases of security breaches. Various tools and techniques have been applied in trying to curb this problem, however new attacks continue to plague the Internet. We discuss risks that affect web applications and explain how network-centric and host-centric techniques, as much as they are crucial in an enterprise, lack necessary depth to comprehensively analyze overall application security. The nature of web applications to span a number of servers introduces a new dimension of security requirement that calls for a holistic approach to protect the information asset regardless of its physical or logical separation of modules and tiers. We therefore classify security mechanisms as either infrastructure-centric or application-centric based on what asset is being secured. We then describe requirements for such application-centric security mechanisms.

Security,Controllability,Manageability and Survivability in Trustworthy Network

The Internet plays increasingly important roles in everyone's life; however, the existence of a mismatch between the basic architectural idea beneath the Internet and the emerging requirements for it is becoming more and more obvious. Although the Internet community came up with a consensus that the future network should be trustworthy, the concept of 'trustworthy networks' and the ways leading us to a trustworthy network are not yet clear. This research insists that the security, controllability, manageability, and survivability should be basic properties of a trustworthy network. The key ideas and techniques involved in these properties are studied, and recent developments and progresses are surveyed. At the same time, the technical trends and challenges are briefly discussed. The network trustworthiness could and should be eventually achieved.

TRUSED:A Trust-Based Security Evaluation Scheme for A Distributed Control System

Distributed control systems(DCS)have revolutionized the communication process and attracted more interest due to their pervasive computing nature(cyber/physical),their monitoring capabilities and the benefits they offer.However,due to distributed communication,flexible network topologies and lack of central control,the traditional security strategies are inadequate formeeting the unique characteristics ofDCS.Moreover,malicious and untrustworthy nodes pose a significant threat during the formation of a DCS network.Trust-based secure systems not only monitor and track the behavior of the nodes but also enhance the security by identifying and isolating the malicious node,which reduces the risk and increases network lifetime.In this research,we offer TRUSED,a trust-based security evaluation scheme that both,directly and indirectly,estimates each node’s level of trustworthiness,incorporating the cumulative trust concept.In addition,simulation results show that the proposed technique can effectively identify malicious nodes,determine their node’s trustworthiness rating,and improve the packet delivery ratio.

An Efficient Key Management Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

Key management is a fundamental security service in wireless sensor networks. The communication security problems for these networks are exacerbated by the limited power and energy of the sensor devices. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of an efficient key management scheme based on low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy（LEACH） for wireless sensor networks. The design of the protocol is motivated by the observation that many sensor nodes in the network play different roles. The paper presents different keys are set to the sensors for meeting different transmitting messages and variable security requirements. Simulation results show that our key management protocol based-on LEACH can achieve better performance. The energy consumption overhead introduced is remarkably low compared with the original Kerberos schemes.

Trust management-based and energy efficient hierarchical routing protocol in wireless sensor networks

The single planar routing protocol has a slow convergence rate in the large-scale Wireless Sensor Network(WSN).Although the hierarchical routing protocol can effectively cope with large-scale application scenarios,how to elect a secure cluster head and balance the network load becomes an enormous challenge.In this paper,a Trust Management-based and Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy protocol(LEACH-TM)is proposed.In LEACH-TM,by using the number of dynamic decision cluster head nodes,residual energy and density of neighbor nodes,the size of the cluster can be better constrained to improve energy efficiency,and avoid excessive energy consumption of a node.Simultaneously,the trust management scheme is introduced into LEACH-TM to defend against internal attacks.The simulation results show that,compared with LEACH-SWDN protocol and LEACH protocol,LEACH-TM outperforms in prolonging the network lifetime and balancing the energy consumption,and can effectively mitigate the influence of malicious nodes on cluster head selection,which can greatiy guarantee the security of the overall network.

Key Management Using Certificate-Based Cryptosystem in Ad Hoc Networks

This paper proposed a distributed key management approach by using the recently developed concepts of certificate-based cryptosystem and threshold secret sharing schemes. Without any assumption of prefixed trust relationship between nodes, the ad hoc network works in a self-organizing way to provide the key generation and key management services using threshold secret sharing schemes, which effectively solves the problem of single point of failure. The proposed approach combines the best aspects of identity-based key management approaches (implicit certification) and traditional public key infrastructure approaches (no key escrow).

Key-insulated encryption based group key management for wireless sensor network

The key exposure problem is a practical threat for many security applications. In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), keys could be compromised easily due to its limited hardware protections. A secure group key management scheme is responsible for secure distributing group keys among valid nodes of the group. Based on the key-insulated encryption (KIE), we propose a group key management scheme (KIE-GKMS), which integrates the pair-wise key pre-distribution for WSN. The KIE-GKMS scheme updates group keys dynamically when adding or removing nodes. Moreover, the security analysis proves that the KIE-GKMS scheme not only obtains the semantic security, but also provides the forward and backward security. Finally, the theoretical analysis shows that the KIE-GKMS scheme has constant performance on both communication and storage costs in sensor nodes.

Study on key management scheme for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks

Heterogeneous wireless sensor network( HWSN) is composed of different functional nodes and is widely applied. With the deployment in hostile environment,the secure problem of HWSN is of great importance; moreover,it becomes complex due to the mutual characteristics of sensor nodes in HWSN. In order to enhance the network security,an asymmetric key pre-distributed management scheme for HWSN is proposed combining with authentication process to further ensure the network security; meanwhile,an effective authentication method for newly added nodes is presented. Simulation result indicates that the proposed scheme can improve the network security while reducing the storage space requirement efficiently.

Through analyzing, it shows that the scheme have certain advantages in key connectivity, security, communication and energy consumption.

An Adaptive Key Management Framework for the Wireless Mesh and Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are popular research subjects. The interconnection of both network types enables next-generation applications and creates new optimization opportunities. Currently, plenty of protocols are available on the security of either wireless sensor networks or wireless mesh networks, an investigation in peer work underpins the fact that neither of these protocols is adapt to the interconnection of these network types. The internal cause relies on the fact that they differ in terms of complexity, scalability and network abstraction level. Therefore, in this article, we propose a unified security framework with three key management protocols, MPKM, MGKM, and TKM which are able to provide basic functionalities on the simplest devices and advanced functionalities on high performance nodes. We perform a detailed performance evaluation on our protocols against some important metrics such as scalability, key connectivity and compromise resilience, and we also compare our solution to the current keying protocols for WSNs and WMNs.

A Compact Trust Computation and Management Approach for Defending against Derailed Attacks for Wireless Sensor Networks and Its Applications

One of the most effective measurements of intercommunication and collaboration in wireless sensor networks which leads to provide security is Trust Management. Most popular decision making systems used to collaborate with a stranger are tackled by two different existing trust management systems: one is a policy-based approach which verifies the decision built on logical properties and functionalities;the other approach is reputation-based approach which verifies the decision built on physical properties and functionalities of WSN. Proofless authorization, unavailability, vagueness and more complexity cause decreased detection rate and spoil the efficacy of the WSN in existing approaches. Some of the integrated approaches are utilized to improve the significance of the trust management strategies. In this paper, a Compact Trust Computation and Management (CTCM) approach is proposed to overcome the limitations of the existing approaches, also it provides a strong objective security with the calculability and the available security implications. Finally, the CTCM approach incorporates the optimum trust score for logical and physical investigation of the network resources. The simulation based experiment results show that the CTCM compact trust computation and management approach can provide an efficient defending mechanism against derailing attacks in WSN.
