In order to defeat physical destruction attacks on wireless sensor networks, the base station (BS) need have the ability to continuously self-monitor the change of the WSN's coverage performance. In this paper, we propose a secure coverage inference protocol (SCIP) which can provide the BS an accurate and in-time measurement of the current connected coverage in an energy-efficient way, and our SCIP is resilient to attacks from external adversaries as well as to attacks from compromised nodes.
Chi Zhang received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China, in 1999 and 2002 respectively. Currently, he is pursuing his Ph.D. in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Florida. His research focuses on security, trust, and privacy in network and distributed systems, with current emphases on mobile ad hoc networks, wireless sensor networks, wireless mesh networks, and hybrid wired/wireless networks. He is a student member of the IEEE.
