Abstract:
Security in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) or Internet of Things has become a hot research topic due to their wide deployment and the increasing new runtime attacks they are facing. Thereby, applications are unaware of what security mechanisms are as well as dynamic changing attacks. Accordingly, the concept that must cope with this new security challenge has to satisfy an overall performance such as power consumption, being actually a key issue for internet of things. This objective is completely compatible with green computing (Green 1.0). This research investigated methods mainly based on autonomic computing and adaption security to build a framework capable of determining appropriate security means for a highly dynamic wireless network with respect to context-aware, self-management, self-optimization and self-protection paradigms of autonomic system. Trust computing was the means used to mitigate the influence of attackers. Extensive simulations using agent based approach have been also conducted for a case study of pollution detection in Geneva city in concordance with Green 2.0. We have proved the performance of the framework in the case of mobile sensor network in the presence of different mobile attacks. The results clearly show that SARM is efficient in terms of survivability, overall network utilization and power consumption.
