Abstract

The fact that sensor networks are deployed in wide dynamically changing environment and usually left unattended, calls for nomadic, diverse and autonomic behavior. The nature of security threats in such networks as well as the nature of the network itself raise additional security challenges, so new mechanisms and architectures must be designed to protect them. In an autonomic communication context these mechanisms must be based on self-healing, self-configuration and self-optimization in order to enforce high-level security policies. In this work we discuss the research challenges posed by sensor network security as they apply to the autonomic communication setting.
