Watermarking schemes for secure data aggregation in wireless sensor networks: A review paper

Wireless sensor networks consists of sensors nodes used for the communication purpose. Wireless sensor networks are self-organized and data-centric. In Wireless sensor networks, there are some issues like data redundancy, high energy conservation and injecting unnecessary data. Data aggregation method overcomes the data redundancy problem. In this paper, a data integrity protection strategy has been discussed based on watermarking technologies to protect the data integrity. At the end of the paper comparison of various schemes is also provided based on characteristics like the method adopted by each scheme and the position at which integrity is provided.
