Secure and resilient clock synchronization in wireless sensor networks

Sun, N. K., Ning, N. P., & Wang, N. C. (2006, February 1). IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications.

By: N. Sun n, N. Ning n & N. Wang*

author keywords: computer network security; fault tolerance; synchronization; wireless sensor networks
topics (OpenAlex): Network Time Synchronization Technologies; Context-Aware Activity Recognition Systems; Wireless Body Area Networks
TL;DR: This paper seeks techniques to provide redundant ways for each node to synchronize its clock with the common source, so that it can tolerate partially missing or false synchronization information provided by compromised nodes, and indicates that both level-based and diffusion-based approaches can tolerate up to s colluding malicious source nodes and tcolluding malicious nodes among the neighbors of each normal node.
