Abstract

In order to defeat physical destruction attacks on wireless sensor networks, the base station (BS) need have the ability to continuously self-monitor the change of the WSN's coverage performance. In this paper, we propose a secure coverage inference protocol (SCIP) which can provide the BS an accurate and in-time measurement of the current connected coverage in an energy-efficient way, and our SCIP is resilient to attacks from external adversaries as well as to attacks from compromised nodes.
