Wireless sensor networks are expected to play a vital role in the upcoming age of ubiquitous computing such as home environmental, industrial, and military applications. Compared with the vivid utilization of the sensor networks, however, security and privacy issues of the sensor networks are still in their infancy because unique challenges of the sensor networks make it difficult to adopt conventional security policies. Especially, node compromise is a critical threat because a compromised node can drain out the finite amount of energy resources in battery-powered sensor networks by launching various insider attacks such as a false data injection. Even cryptographic authentication mechanisms and key management schemes cannot suggest solutions for the real root of the insider attack from a compromised node. In this paper, we propose a novel trust-based secure aggregation scheme which identifies trustworthiness of sensor nodes and filters out false data of compromised nodes to make resilient sensor networks. The proposed scheme suggests a defensible approach against the insider attack beyond conventional cryptographic solutions. The analysis and simulation results show that our aggregation scheme using trust evaluation is more resilient alternative to median.

인간 생활의 질적인 향상을 위해, 각종 시스템이 연구되고 있다. 특히 작고 설치가 용이한 센서를 중심으로 Ubiquitous 분야가 발달하고 있으며, 센서 네트워크에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히 일반적인 생활에는 물론 의료, 노약자의 보호, 위험 감지 등의 중요한 분야에까지 센서 네트워크가 활용됨으로써 데이터 전송의 정확성과 신뢰성은 중요한 문제로 대두되었다. 이에 본 논문에서는, 센서의 특성과 무선 통신의 특징을 고려하여 에너지 효율성 및 데이터 전송의 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위한 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 특히 RSSI 신호와 채널 에러율을 함께 이용하여 각 노드 경로별 신뢰도를 계산하고, 이에 따라 선택적으로 Acknowledgement를 사용하며 오버히어링 문제를 역으로 이용하여, 묵시적 Acknowledgement로 사용함으로써 에러율이 높고 에너지가 한정되어있는 무선 센서 네트워크에서 계속적인 ACK/NACK 사용으로 인한 에너지 소비 및 트래픽 낭비를 줄이고자 한다.

Based on the rapid development of the computer network technology, the ubiquitous sensor network (USN) was developed to enable us to have access to the communication environment anywhere and anytime without the need for recognizing computers or networks. Moreover, with the increasingly high interest on individual health, the USN technology is being applied to diverse sectors for healthcare and disease prevention. In this paper, a system was designed and implemented using the USN-based RF communication for doctors and nurses who care patients in the hospital to easily measure and control the physiological data on blood pressure and blood sugar. In addition, a database was designed using MS SQL database to store and manage the blood pressure and blood sugar data, which were passively or actively measured from patients. Using the results of this study, the physiological data of patients can be managed in real time and emergency situation can be instantly addressed. It is expected that the healthcare service can be improved and the paradigm of healthcare service environment can be changed.

Wireless sensor network（WSN） consists by a large number of low-cost micro-sensor nodes, collaborate to achieve the perception of information collection, processing and transmission tasks in deployment area. It can be widely used in national defense, intelligent transportation, medical care, environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, and industrial automation and many other areas. One of the key technologies of sensor networks is the data maintenance management technology. In this paper we analyze the data management technology of wireless sensor network and pointed their problems.

A novel approach for electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis within a functional sensor node has been developed and evaluated. The main aim is to reduce data collision, traffic over loads and power consumption in healthcare applications of wireless sensor networks (WSN). The sensor node attached on the patient's bodysurface around the heart can perform ECG analysis based on a QRS detection algorithm to detect abnormal condition of the patient. Data transfer is activated only after detected abnormality in the ECG. This system can reduce packet loss during transmission by reducing traffic overload. In addition, it saves power supply energy leading to more reliable, cheap and user-friendly operation in the WSN based ubiquitous health monitoring.

u-헬스케어 서비스의 발달에 따라 기존의 질병 발생 후에 대응하는 방식의 병원 치료적 패러다임에서 탈피하여 환자가 무선 의료 기기를 휴대하거나 주변 환경에 설치된 의료 장치를 이용하여 일상생활 가운데 건강관리, 질병 예방, 신속한 치료 등의 서비스가 가능해지고 있다. u-헬스케어 서비스가 고도화 될수록 지능화된 의료 센서나 기기에 의한 개인 생체 정보 및 주변 환경 정보에 관한 모니터링이 가능해지고 유무선 네트워크를 통한 건강 정보의 공유가 확대될 것이다. 그러나 u-헬스케어는 개인 건강/의료 정보를 포함한 극히 개인적인 정보를 주로 다루고 있고 유무선 네트워크와 절대적으로 밀접한 연관을 맺고 있으며, 의료 정보 권한과 관련된 다양한 이해 당사자가 존재할 수 있다는 점에서 보안 및 프라이버시 측면에서 다양한 취약점과 위협이 존재할 수 있다. 따라서 안전한 u-헬스케어 서비스 연구 개발을 위해 u-헬스케어의 개요와 특성을 살펴보고, 관련 보안 이슈 및 요구사항을 분석하여 대응 가능한 합리적인 기술적 대안들을 검토코자 한다.

Advent of the brain wave health care system is considered as an important issues in the industrial and research area in these days. It is necessary to detect EEG signals in real-time in order to support the medical emergency service for the epileptic or brain infarct patients. Since the efficient network support is an essential factor for the system, several topologies using sensor node based wireless body area network is suggested and simulated in this paper. Finally the Opnet simulation result is evaluated for the efficient topology of the body area network.
