“Security on MANET Using Block Coding”

Abstract

Large-scale sensor networks are deployed in numerous application domains, and the data they collect are used in
decision-making for critical infrastructures. Data are streamed from multiple sources through intermediate processing nodes
that aggregate information. A malicious adversary may introduce additional nodes in the network or compromise existing
ones. Therefore, assuring high data trustworthiness is crucial for correct decision-making. Data provenance represents a key
factor in evaluating the trustworthiness of sensor data. Provenance management for sensor networks introduces several
challenging requirements, such as low energy and bandwidth consumption, efficient storage and secure transmission. In this
paper, we propose a novel lightweight scheme to securely transmit provenance for sensor data. The proposed technique relies
on in packet Bloom filters to encode provenance.
