CRYPTOGRAPHY FOR (PARTIALLY) COMPROMISED SENSOR NETWORKS

Wireless sensor networks are not just another technology, but also exhibit new and complex problems from the security perspective. The majority of the existing security approaches are unsuitable or even impossible to deploy due to the combination of decentralized tasks with high numbers of energy and computational-limited nodes positioned, typically, out of our permanent physical control. Non-conventional and/or novel security techniques are to be considered for situations where a partial network compromise is to be expected.
