Defending Against Physical Destruction Attacks on Wireless Sensor Networks

In order to defeat physical destruction attacks on wireless sensor networks, the base station (BS) need have the ability to continuously self-monitor the change of the WSN´s coverage performance. In this paper, we propose a secure coverage inference protocol (SCIP) which can provide the BS an accurate and in-time measurement of the current connected coverage in an energy-efficient way, and our SCIP is resilient to attacks from external adversaries as well as to attacks from compromised nodes
