Efficient and Robust Secure Aggregation for Sensor Networks

Karl Aberer, Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Marcin Poturalski, Parisa Haghani

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) rely on in-network aggregation for efficiency, however, this comes at a price: A single adversary can severely influence the outcome by contributing an arbitrary partial aggregate value. Secure in-network aggregation can det ...

Securing Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Maxime Raya

Vehicular networks are very likely to be deployed in the coming years and thus become the most relevant form of mobile ad hoc networks. In this paper, we address the security of these networks. We provide a detailed threat analysis and devise an appropriat ...

Even Small Birds are Unique: Population Protocols with Identifiers

Rachid Guerraoui, Eric Ruppert

Although much research has been devoted to designing and experimenting on ad hoc networks of tiny devices, very little has focussed on devising theoretical models to capture the inherent power and limitations of such networks. A notable exception is the po ...

Towards reliable communication and agreement in mobile ad-hoc networks

David Cavin

During the last decade, the number of wireless devices like digital organizers, mobile phones and laptop computers has drastically increased. At the same time, several technologies, like Bluetooth, GPRS, or WiFi have become mature and offer a high-performa ...

Distributed routing algorithms for sensor networks

Guillermo Barrenetxea Kobas

Recent advances in wireless communications and computing technology are enabling the emergence of low-cost devices that incorporate sensing, processing, and communication functionalities. A large number of these devices are deployed in the field to create ...

Reliable Broadcast in Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

André Schiper, David Cavin, Yoav Sasson

We propose a single source reliable broadcasting algorithm for linear grid-based networks where a message is guaranteed to be delivered to all the nodes of the network. The nodes are mobile and can move from one grid point to another. The solution does not ...

Node Cooperation in Hybrid Ad hoc Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Naouel Ben Salem, Levente Buttyan

A hybrid ad hoc network is a structure-based network that is extended using multi-hop communications. Indeed, in this kind of network, the existence of a communication link between the mobile station and the base station is not required: A mobile station t ...

Anypath routing

Henri Julien Dubois-Ferrière

In many networks, it is less costly to transmit a packet to any node in a set of neighbors than to one specific neighbor. A well-known instance is with unreliable wireless links, where the probability that at least one node out ofnreceives a packet increas ...

DRIFT: Efficient message ordering in ad hoc networks using virtual flooding

André Schiper, Stefan Pleisch

We present DRIFT --- a total order multicast algorithm for ad hoc networks with mobile or static nodes. Due to the ad hoc nature of the network, DRIFT uses flooding for message propagation. The key idea of DRIFT is virtual flooding --- a way of using unrel ...

A Game for Ad Hoc Network Connectivity in the Presence of Malicious Users

Georgios Theodorakopoulos

Ad hoc network users are resource constrained: Before transmitting data, they have to take into account the energy expenditure involved. Even if a user is, in principle, willing to spend energy to improve network connectivity, his actual decision will be h ...
