A Secure Communication Suite for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks

Blog Article

In this paper we describe a security suite for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks comprising both fixed and mobile nodes.The security suite is composed of a secure routing protocol and a set of cryptographic primitives aimed at protecting the read more confidentiality and the integrity of underwater communication while taking into account the unique characteristics and constraints of the acoustic channel.By means of experiments and g35 coupe fender simulations based on real data, we show that the suite is suitable for an underwater networking environment as it introduces limited, and sometimes negligible, communication and power consumption overhead.
