A Framework for Proving the Security of Data Transmission Protocols in Sensor Network

摘要

This paper presents an framework to analyze the security of data transmission protocols in wireless sensor network (WSN). The proposed framework is based on the simulation paradigm and it defines three attack models in terms of the adversary's attacking ability. Furthermore, it provides a ideal model to verify whether a given protocol is secure or not under these three different attack models. The framework is proved to be effective by analyzing a "secure" data transmission protocol SDD. This is the first time that the notion of provable security is applied in wireless sensor networks.
