Special session

on

Security Protection Mechanisms in Wireless Sensor Networks

In conjunction with

Second International Conference on Wireless VITAE 2011

February 28 – March 3, 2011, Le Royal Méridien Chennai, India

:: Scope

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is an emerging research field with several interesting application domains ranging from battlefield monitoring to environmental observation. The primary domains for WSN application are: military, ecological, medical, and other miscellaneous applications like car theft detection, inventory control, habitat monitoring, home applications etc. In these application domains of WSN, secure communication is one of the biggest challenges. While the attack systems have become more easy-to-use, sophisticated, and powerful, interest has greatly increased in the field of building more effective, intelligent, adaptive, active and high performance defense systems which are distributed and networked.

The objective of the special session will be to deal with the issues related to Security Protection, such as authentication, access control, availability, integrity, privacy, confidentiality, dependability and sustainability of wireless sensor networks. This special session will provide a forum for exchange of ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers and professionals from industry and academia. Papers describing original research on both theoretical and practical aspects of security in sensor networks are solicited.
