Security for Wireless Sensor Networks using Identity-Based Cryptography

This book introduces new cross-layer design approaches for wireless sensor networks using identity-based cryptography. It starts with a review of the existing layered approach and then examines new attack vectors that exploit the layered approach to security. After providing the necessary background, the authors present a cross layer design approach to address authentication, integrity, and encryption. They also examine new ID-based key management mechanisms using a cross layer design perspective as well as secure routing and new intrusion detection techniques.
