Analysis of security and threat of underwater wireless sensor network topology

摘要

Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) are a subclass of wireless sensor networks. Underwater sensordeployment is a significant challenge due to the characteristics of UWSNs and underwater environment. Recentresearches for UWSNs deployment mostly focus on the maintenance of network connectivity and maximumcommunication coverage. However, the broadcast nature of the transmission medium incurs various types of securityattacks. This paper studies the security issues and threats of UWSNs topology. Based on the cluster-based topology, anunderwater cluster-based security scheme (U-CBSS) is presented to defend against these attacks. and safety.© (2012) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
