Codo: Confidential Data Storage for Wireless Sensor Networkss
- 2012. - 6
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Many Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are used to collect and process confidential information. Confidentiality must be ensured at all times and, for example, solutions for confidential communication, processing or storage are required. To date, the research community has addressed mainly the issue of confidential communication. Efficient solutions for cryptographically secured communication and associated key exchange in WSNs exist. Many WSN applications, however, rely heavily on available on-node storage space and therefore it is essential to ensure the confidentiality of stored data as well. In this paper we present Codo, a confidential data storage solution which balances platform, performance and security requirements. We implement Codo for the Contiki WSN operating system and evaluate its performance.

Combined Secure Storage and Communication for the Internet of Things
- 2013
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The future Internet of Things (IoT) may be based on the existing and established Internet Protocol (IP). Many IoT application scenarios will handle sensitive data. However, as security requirements for storage and communication are addressed separately, work such as key management or cryp- tographic processing is duplicated. In this paper we present a framework that allows us to combine secure storage and secure communication in the IP-based IoT. We show how data can be stored securely such that it can be delivered securely upon request without further cryptographic processing. Our prototype implementation shows that combined secure storage and communication can reduce the security-related processing on nodes by up to 71% and energy consumption by up to 32.1%.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Comprehensive security mechanisms are required for a successful implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT). Existing solutions focus mainly on securing the communication links between Internet hosts and IoT devices. However, as most IoT devices nowadays provide vast amounts of flash storage space it is as well required to consider storage security within a comprehensive security framework. Instead of developing independent security solutions for storage and communication we propose Fusion, a framework which provides coalesced confidential storage and communication. Fusion uses existing secure communication protocols for the IoT such as IPsec and DTLS and re-uses the defined communication security mechanisms within the storage component. Thus, trusted mechanisms developed for communication security are extended into the storage space. Notably, this mechanism allows us to transmit requested data directly from the file system without decrypting read data blocks and then re-encrypting these for transmission. Thus, Fusion provides benefits in terms of processing speed and energy efficiency which are important aspects for resource constrained IoT devices. The paper describes the Fusion architecture and its instantiation for IPsec and DTLS based systems. We describe Fusion’s implementation and evaluate its storage overheads, communication performance and energy consumption

Hot Packets : A systematic evaluation of the effect of temperature on low power wireless transceivers
- 2013

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Temperature is known to have a significant effect on the performance of radio transceivers: the higher the temperature, the lower the quality of links. Analysing this effect is particularly important in sensor networks because several applications are exposed to harsh environmental conditions. Daily or hourly changes in temperature can dramatically reduce the throughput, increase the delay, or even lead to network partitions. A few studies have quantified the impact of temperature on low-power wireless links, but only for a limited temperature range and on a single radio transceiver. Building on top of these preliminary observations, we design a low-cost experimental infrastructure to vary the onboard temperature of sensor nodes in a repeatable fashion, and we study systematically the impact of temperature on various sensornet platforms. We show that temperature affects transmitting and receiving nodes differently, and that all platforms follow a similar trend that can be captured in a simple first-order model. This work represents an initial stepping stone aimed at predicting the performance of a network considering the particular temperature profile of a given environment.

TempLab : A testbed infrastructure to study the impact of temperature on wireless sensor networks
- 2014
-
Ingår i: IPSN 2014 - Proceedings of the 13th International Symposium on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (Part of CPS Week). - : IEEE Computer Society. - 9781479931460 ; , s. 95-106

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Temperature has a strong impact on the operations of all electrical and electronic components. In wireless sensor nodes, temperature variations can lead to loss of synchronization, degradation of the link quality, or early battery depletion, and can therefore affect key network metrics such as throughput, delay, and lifetime. Considering that most outdoor deployments are exposed to strong temperature variations across time and space, a deep understanding of how temperature affects network protocols is fundamental to comprehend flaws in their design and to improve their performance. Existing testbed infrastructures, however, do not allow to systematically study the impact of temperature on wireless sensor networks. In this paper we present TempLab, an extension for wireless sensor network testbeds that allows to control the on-board temperature of sensor nodes and to study the effects of temperature variations on the network performance in a precise and repeatable fashion. TempLab can accurately reproduce traces recorded in outdoor environments with fine granularity, while minimizing the hardware costs and configuration overhead. We use TempLab to analyse the detrimental effects of temperature variations (i) on processing performance, (ii) on a tree routing protocol, and (iii) on CSMA-based MAC protocols, deriving insights that would have not been revealed using existing testbed installations.

- New Internet of Things (IoT) technologies such as LongRange (LoRa) are emerging which enable power ecientwireless communication over very long distances. Devicestypically communicate directly to a sink node which removesthe need of constructing and maintaining a complex multi-hop network. Given the fact that a wide area is coveredand that all devices communicate directly to a few sinknodes a large number of nodes have to share the commu-nication medium. LoRa provides for this reason a rangeof communication options (centre frequency, spreading fac-tor, bandwidth, coding rates) from which a transmitter canchoose. Many combination settings are orthogonal and pro-vide simultaneous collision free communications. Neverthe-less, there is a limit regarding the number of transmitters aLoRa system can support. In this paper we investigate thecapacity limits of LoRa networks. Using experiments wedevelop models describing LoRa communication behaviour.We use these models to parameterise a LoRa simulation tostudy scalability. Our experiments show that a typical smartcity deployment can support 120 nodes per 3.8 ha, which isnot sucient for future IoT deployments. LoRa networkscan scale quite well, however, if they use dynamic commu-nication parameter selection and/or multiple sinks.
