Problem Definition

What is the optimal number of sensors needed to achieve p-coverage and q-connectivity in WSNs?

An important problem in WSNs: Connectivity is for information transmission and coverage

is for information collection Avoid ad hoc deployment to save cost To help design topology control algorithms and protocols other practical benefits

p-Coverage and q-Connectivity

q-connectivity: there are at least q disjoint paths between any two sensors

p-coverage: every point in the plane is covered by at least p different sensors

sc rr 3

The communication range of the Extreme Scale Mote (XSM) platform is 30 m and the sensing range of the acoustics sensor is 55 m

Sometimes even when it is claimed for a sensor to have , it may not hold in practice because the reliable communication range is often 60-80% of the claimed value

Workflow of optimality proof (1) Step 1

We lay out the theoretical foundation of the optimality proof: for any collection of the Voronoi polygons forming a tessellation,  the average edge number of them is not larger than six asymptotically.

• It is built on the well known Euler formula.

Step 2 We show that any collection of Voronoi polygons generated in

any deployment can be transformed into the same number of Voronoi polygons generated in a regular deployment while full coverage and desired connectivity can still be achieved. 

• The proof  is based on the technique of pattern transformation and the theoretical foundation obtained in Step 1.

17Dong Xuan: CSE885 on 11/07/07The Ohio State University

Workflow of optimality proof (2) Step 3

We prove the number of Voronoi polygons from any regular deployment has a lower bound.

Step 4 We show that the number of Voronoi polygons used

in the patterns we proposed is exactly the lower bound value. Hence the patterns we proposed are the optimal in all regular deployment patterns.

• Based on the conclusion obtained in Step 2, the patterns we proposed are also the optimal among all the deployment patterns.

Invisible Traceback in the Internet Internet has brought convenience to our

everyday lives However, it has also become a breeding

ground for a variety of crimes Network forensics has become part of

legal surveillance We study flow marking for a

fundamental network-based forensic technique, traceback

Problem Definition

Invisible Location Attack to Internet Monitoring Systems Widespread attackers attempt to evade the

distributed monitoring/detection systems We design invisible LOCalization (iLOC) attack

which can locate the detection monitors accurately and invisibly. Then the widespread attacks can evade these located monitors.

Effectiveness of iLOC attack We implement iLOC attack, carry out

experiments and analyze the effectiveness of iLOC attack.

invisible LOCalization Attack

Basic idea: Verify attack traffic in traffic report, verify existence of monitors.

Two Stages: - Attack traffic generating - Attack traffic decoding

Embed an attack mark in the attack traffic, which can be recognized by the attacker.
