Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of numerous small nodes that can sense, collect,
and disseminate information for many different types of applications. One of these …

In wireless sensor networks, adversaries can make use of the traffic information to locate the
monitored objects, eg, to hunt endangered animals or kill soldiers. In this paper, we first …

With the development of the Internet of Things (IoT), a more humanity-related network called
the Social Internet of Things (SIoT) is now evolving. WSNs are also part of the Social Internet …

In certain applications, the locations of events reported by a sensor network need to remain
anonymous. That is, unauthorized observers must be unable to detect the origin of such …

Research on smart environments saturated with ubiquitous computing devices is rapidly
advancing while raising serious privacy issues. According to recent studies, privacy …

Extensive work has been done on the protection of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) from
the hardware to the application layer. However, only recently, the privacy preservation …

In wireless sensor networks, the privacy of an event is critical to its safety. The location
privacy of the sensor node that reports the event is imperative to the privacy of the event …

The problem of quickest change detection (QCD) in anonymous heterogeneous sensor
networks is studied. There are heterogeneous sensors and a fusion center. The sensors are …

The advent of miniature biosensors has generated numerous opportunities for deploying
wireless sensor networks in healthcare. However, an important barrier is that acceptance by …
