Abstract: Wireless sensor network (WSN) is built of hosts called sensors which can sense a phenomenon such as motion, temperature, and humidity. Sensors represent what they sense in data format. Providing an efficient end-to-end privacy solution would be a challenging task due to the open nature of the WSN. The key schemes needed for end-to-end location privacy are anonymity, observability, capture likelihood and safety period. On top of that, having temporal privacy is crucial to attain. We extend this work to provide a solution against global adversaries. We present a network model that is protected against passive/active and local/multi-local/global attacks. This work provides a solution for temporal privacy to attain end-to-end anonymity and location privacy.

1. INTRODUCTION AND PROBLEM STATEMENT: In this work, we shall focus on providing temporal privacy which is very curtail to providing source and sink location privacy. There are generally two ways to locate a sensor using passive attacks: traffic analysis [1] and packet tracing [2, 3]. The traffic analysis can determine location by analyzing the traffic. Packet tracing can be used to find the source

When asked what happens to privacy in a geospatial world, my mind automatically changed the question to what happens to privacy in a globally connected, age of information and technology?
Personal sensing devices are becoming more commonplace in everyday life. Unfortunately, radio transmissions from these devices can create unexpected privacy concerns if not carefully designed. We demonstrate these issues with a widely-available commercial product, the Nike+iPod Sport Kit, which contains a sensor that users put in one of their shoes and a receiver that users attach to their iPod Nanos. Students and researchers from the University of Washington found out that the transmitter in a sneaker can be read up to 60 feet away. Through the use of a prototype surveillance system, the researchers could track someone wearing Nike+iPod sensors, plot their location on a GoogleMaps-based website and emai and
The time correlation attack is simple to conduct and effective in compromising privacy. Hence, it is the most considered attack in prior works and also widely studied in many Internet anonymity protocols~\cite{hong2005}.
3) Secure data aggregation: Fine grain sensing is one of the important compensation of a wireless sensor network which is provided by the large and dense sets of nodes .So to avoid overwhelming amounts of traffic, the sensed values must be aggregated and the aggregation may take place in many places in the network depending on the architecture of the wireless sensor network. For example, the system may average the temperature of a geographic region, combine sensor values to compute the location and velocity of a moving object, or aggregate data to avoid false alarms in real-world event detection. All aggregation locations must be secured [8].
Jill Lepore the author of the article “The Prism: Privacy in the Age of Technology” examines the concept of privacy in a world that has changed significantly from the 1800s. Lepore asserts that an age of publicity was ushered into society due to the shift from a world shrouded in secrecy to one inundated with transparency. Regardless, there have always been cases where privacy has been violated.
To outface this problem Network Address Translation (NAT) method is used. This enables devices with private addresses to be connected to a public network address (e.g. Internet). This private address is converted to legal IP address, through NAT routers before traveling 11 “outside”. (See figure 4). Every device that is connected to the network has a unique IP address but this doesn’t mean that is permanent. Because devices connected to the network,

1. Abstract: Wireless sensor networks is growing rapidly over the few decades. Due to its flexibility, wireless sensor networks has been in practice in many areas. Among various wireless networks, Mobile Ad hoc networks has been one of the unique network. Unlike other network architectures, MANETs have no central architecture; every node is free to work both as a transmitter and receiver. Every single node can communicate freely with every other node which is in their communication range. Otherwise, it depends on neighboring nodes to relay messages. Due to this nature, MANETs are used in many missionary applications like health care, military use and emergency recovery. However the wide distribution of MANETs makes it vulnerable to malicious attacks. Hence it is necessary to design a secure system for MANETs. In this paper we implement a secure system named Enhanced Adaptive Acknowledgement especially for MANETs. To ensure higher security and reduce the network overhead, we use a different approach called hybrid cryptography in our proposed scheme. Enhanced Adaptive Acknowledgment detects higher malicious attackers without greatly disturbing the network performances. We compare the differences within the Enhanced Adaptive Acknowledgment before and after introducing the Hybrid cryptography approach
I love this app and I would definitely use it. When I go to Victoria’s Secret, I feel so embarrassed and uncomfortable when someone asks to help me measure my bra size. I think Third Love really helps customers solve this problem because they can use this app to measure their own size by following some simple steps at home. However, how can customers trust the company about their privacy? Even though all photos that are sent to Third Love are not saved anywhere, I still wondering the privacy problem. Today, the world is surrounded by technology, so no one knows what will happen in the future. I think this is a big problem for the company, and from the comments I can see many people asked the same question. Other than that, the concept of this
It’s when two generation cannot understand differences of outlook or style between people of different generations.
The new digital age technology allows systems to create and store digital records of people's movements through public spaces. This isn’t something that we can stop and for directionally challenge people like myself, I wouldn’t want to stop these services. As there are a number off added benefits with new digital features there are also added threats. The threat I am analyzing today is locational privacy. We need to demand that these systems are built with privacy as part of their original design.
In this paper, we present an optimal attack framework that can take down a sensing system even with truth discovery empowered. Compared with the aforementioned native attack strategy, the proposed optimal attack strategy makes the malicious workers behave ``smarter''. They can successfully disguise themselves as normal workers. If there is little hope to achieve the attack goal on some objects, they will tend to agree with the normal workers on those objects to gain higher weights, and in turn, can exert stronger impact on other
Communications Security is critical to preventing adversaries from obtaining information traversing the internet. With today’s technology just about all information is being transmitted via the internet or phone lines or mobile radios. This can be anything from credit card payments for online purchases to classified secret level or above information for military operations. The technology involved in the area evolving crypto systems such as KG-175s, emissions security or TEMPEST requirements protecting emanations, physical security like ensuring material is accounted for, and transmissions security or protecting information from interception. To support the ever growing technology there is specific equipment and storage requirements for network traffic and voice traffic. There is even equipment devised just to manage and account for the encryption devices on the network. The companies and organizations overseeing communications security include the National Security Agency, General Dynamics, and the Committee on National Security Systems. Finally there are global implications for communications security. National Security Agency surveillance and cyber attacks are among the most relevant concerns in today’s communications security. First discussed will be the technology involved in the area.
The internet is a medium that is becoming progressively important as it makes information available in a quick and easy manner. It has transformed communications and acts as a global network that allows people to communicate and interact without being limited by time, boarders and distance. However, the infrastructure is vulnerable to hackers who use the system to commit cyber crime. To accomplish this, they make use of innovative stealth techniques for their malicious purposes in the internet.
