 Secured Wireless Sensor Network Testbed

 Description: Building a Sensor Network Testbed for the following experiments:
l Key establishment and management: how to develop an efficient mechanism to deploy keys to all the sensors with desirable scalability under the stringent resource limitation with a goal to achieve how to design effective security protocols to distribute, establish and maintain the keys among the sensors.
l Secure routing: considering routing in sensor networks with a goal to achieve how to prevent the malicious nodes from launching attacks that either tries to change the topology (routing information) of the network or deplete the resource of legal nodes.
l Information security: after secure communication setup via key information, once some nodes get compromised, that is, keys are known by the adversary with a goal to achieve how to detect the compromised nodes and minimize the damage caused by them.

Application
Tracking moving objects appears to be an interesting application as a first step towards designing and implementing a secure infrastructure that makes use of this tracking process. In addition, to the tasks that have been implemented so far and using the mica2 motes, namely sound detection and vibration detection, and which will be reused by our secure infrastructure, the motion detection part will be considered the main task that we need to understand and see how it can be implemented. Merging together sound, vibration, and motion detection will add to the secure infrastructure, which we intend to build, robustness and efficacy.
