Abstract:
Security has become a key issue for any huge deployment of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Moreover, data reliability combined with energy loss minimization is really a challenging task, particularly to maintain survivability of the WSN under attacks such as sinkhole. Therefore, new security mechnisms must be in accordance with energy consumption constraint. This paper proposes to address this task using our Security Adaptation Reference Monitor (SARM) which is an efficient Framework capable of trading-off between security and energy optimization. SARM is based on an autonomic computing security looped system, which fine-tunes security means based on the monitoring of the context including energy consumption aspects. We evaluate SARM in the context of WSN through a simulation tool to verify the performance of overall reliability and energy loss in the presence of sinkhole attackers. The results clearly show that SARM is efficient in terms of reliability, overall network utilization and power consumption.
