Recovery Protocols in Stationary and Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks

WSNs are susceptible to a wide range of security attacks in hostile environments
due to the limited processing and energy capabilities of sensor nodes.
Consequently, the use of WSNs in mission critical applications requires reliable
detection and fast recovery from these attacks. While much research has been
devoted to detecting security attacks, very little attention has yet been given to
the recovery task. In this book, we present a novel mechanism that is based on
dynamic network reclustering and node reprogramming for recovery from node
compromise. We compare our approach with the current detection and recovery
protocols so that we can use the best from existing work alongside our own ideas.
