Reducing data leakage possibility resulted from eavesdropping in wireless sensor network

摘要

Wireless sensor networks are expected to be used in a variety of fields ranging from military applications to personal health monitoring. Due to the constraints in computation, memory, and power resources, and because of the nature of the shared transmission medium which makes it relatively easy for attackers to eavesdrop, avoiding information leakage is a challenge. This paper proposes a routing-based approach against the eavesdropping to enhance sensor network security. Simulation experiment results have confirmed the advantage of the new routing algorithm over existing ones.
