Description:
We consider the problem of security in wireless multicasting for a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay-aided system. The network suffers from a group of adaptive eavesdroppers who can act as both simple eavesdroppers and hostile jammers. This paper formulates the impact of friendly jammers to improve secured communication. We derived the expressions for secrecy multicast capacities considering the absence and presence of friendly jammers. The best relay for transmission is chosen from a group of relays that aids to achieve the maximum secrecy capacity while the best jammer is selected based on competitive interference price. Numerical results show that the achievable secrecy multicast capacity increases significantly in the presence of jammer to nullify the effect of adversaries. Results under different scenarios of varying jamming and relay powers demonstrate the efficacy of friendly jammers in providing physical layer security.

The wireless networked sensors embedded with everyday objects will become an integral part of Future Internet, where the interaction among people, computer and those objects will shift the current Internet to a new paradigm, namely the Internet of Things. The terabyte torrent of data generated by billions of sensors belonging to a large number of distributed heterogeneous sensor networks in Future Internet will only be valuable if they can be effectively used on purpose, which leads to the necessity of an Internet scale query processing framework. In this paper, firstly, we focus on the distinct challenges present in Internet scale query processing over distributed sensor networks. Then, we propose a flexible and scalable system architecture capable of handling the complex scenario that might arise from the integration of a large number of such networks in Future Internet. Finally, we discuss the overall query processing methodology over such system and present some directions on the possible solutions to a number of identified research challenges. The outcome of this paper would foster the sensor network research in Future Internet domain

Description:
Security and privacy protection are very critical requirements for the widespread deployment of RFID technologies for commercial applications. In this chapter, the authors first present the security and privacy requirement of any commercial system, and then highlight the security and privacy threats that are unique to an RFID system. The security and privacy preserving protocols for RFID system proposed in literature are elaborately discussed, analyzing their strengths, vulnerabilities, and implementation issues. The open research challenges that need further investigation, especially with the rapid introduction of diverse RFID applications, are also presented.
