Abstract

Landmines are one of the most environmentally destructive aftermaths of war that the world faces today. Integrating sensor networks with landmines can enable the landmines to be dynamically and securely controlled by troops on the ground. This paper describes the design and implementation of a sensor node based “smart mine” that helps achieve these objectives, while supporting secure wireless communication. The landmines are controlled by integrating them with sound sensors and actuator circuits, using Crossbow wireless sensor devices. For reliable communication, hybrid cryptography is implemented using TinyECC based Public Key Cryptography (PKC) and Trivium based symmetric cipher which was ported to TinyOS 2.0.
