TinySec: A Link Layer Security Architecture for Wireless Sensor Networks Seetha Manickam Overview Motivation TinySec-Introduction Sensor Networks Security threats and Need for link layer security architecture design Design goals Tiny sec Design Security Analysis of Tinysec Performance Evaluation of Tiny Sec Security flaws identified in 802.15.4 standard for sensor networks Motivation Sensor networks : Resource constraint networks – small memories, weak processors, limited energy… Conventional security protocols (802.11b , 802.15.4 are found to be insecure , adds lot of overhead (16-32 bytes) ) Need for a new security architecture for sensor networks -TINYSEC TINYSEC Light weight and efficient link layer security package Developers can easily integrate into sensor network applications. A research platform that is easily extensible and has been incorporated into higher level protocols. Security threats in Sensor Networks Use of wireless communications -In a broadcast medium, adversaries can easily eavesdrop on, intercept, inject and alter transmitted data. Adversaries can Interact with networks from a distance by inexpensive radio transceivers and powerful workstations. Resource consumption attacks. Adversaries can repeatedly send packets to drain nodes battery and waste network bandwidth, can steal nodes. However , these threats are not addressed. Focus is on guaranteeing message authenticity, integrity and confidentiality Motivation for Link layer security in Sensor Networks End-End security Mechanisms : Suitable only for conventional networks using end-end communications where intermediate routers only need to view the message headers. BUT, in Sensor networks In-network processing is done to avoid redundant messages-Requires intermediate nodes to have access to whole message packets and just not the headers as in conventional networks. ..contd..
