A security framework for military application on infrastructure based wireless sensor network

This paper presents an overview on design of a security framework for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). This framework is proposed for an infrastructure based deployment of the sensor nodes for military applications like border fencing and mine field monitoring. Major security prerequisite, like Data confidentiality, Data Integrity and Data Authentication are being addressed. In addition a key management and distribution methodology is also been proposed in the solution. The paper also outlines the factors that have to be considered while designing a framework. The major focus of this proposal is to achieve the desired level of security within the resource restriction imposed by WSN.
