A Security Measure That Quantify The Anonymity Of Different Systems

M Vamsi Krishna, Yalla Satyasudheer

Abstract


The basis ambiguity difficulty in wireless sensor networks is the trouble of studying methods that provide time and position privacy for events reported by sensor nodes. Time and location privacy will be used interchangeably with source anonymity throughout the paper. The source anonymity problem has been drawing growing research concentration recently the source anonymity problem has been addressed under two different types of adversary’s namely local and global adversaries. A local adversary is definite to be an adversary having limited mobility and inequitable view of the network traffic. Routing based methods have been shown to be efficient in hiding the locations of reported events against local adversaries. A global adversary is defined to be an adversary with capacity to check the traffic of the entire network e.g. coordinating adversaries spatially distributed over the network. Against global adversaries routing based techniques are known to be unproductive in cover up location information in event-triggered transmission.
