Wireless ad-hoc networks, especially sensor networks, are increasingly being used for data monitoring in commercial, industrial, and military applications. Security is of great concern from many different viewpoints: ensuring that sensitive data does not fall into wrong hands, ensuring that the received data has not been doctored, and ensuring that the network is resilient to denial of service attacks. This book studies the fundamental problem of secure neighbor discovery, which is critical to protecting the network against a number of different forms of attacks. In wireless ad-hoc and sensor networks, neighbor discovery is one of the first steps performed by a node upon deployment and disrupting it adversely affects a number of routing, MAC, topology discovery and intrusion detection protocols. It is especially harmful when an adversary can convince nodes that it is a legitimate neighbor, which it can do easily and without the use of cryptographic primitives. This book discusses a secure neighbor discovery protocol, SEDINE, for static multihop wireless networks, and extensively analyze its performance.
