Secure and Efficient Cluster-Based Range Query Processing in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract EN

In wireless sensor networks, preserving privacy is more important and has attracted more attentions.

Protecting data and sensor privacy while collecting and computing query results is a challenge.

In cluster-based sensor networks, when a user queries a sensitive data, the adversaries can monitor original node or gain the data in cluster node.

To deal with this problem, we propose a secure and efficient scheme for cluster-based query processing in wireless sensor networks.

To preserve location privacy of sensors, we use anonymity method to confuse adversaries.

To protect the sensitive data, we use prefix membership verification method to prevent adversaries from gaining sensitive messages collected by sensor nodes.

And we analyze the security and communication cost.

The results show that our scheme can efficiently protect privacy in query processing.
