XLSEC - A Distributed Cross-Layer Framework for Security in Wireless Sensor Networks
Geethapriya Thamilarasu, Rishika Iytha Sridhar · 2009
In this work, we addressed the need for cross-layer optimizations in wireless security. We proposed a cross-layer security framework with interactions across layer boundaries (vertical optimization) as well as node boundaries (horizontal optimization). We modeled different attacks at the network layer and application layer to illustrate the detection performance of the XLSEC framework. Preliminary simulation results indicate high detection gains using such cross-layer adaptations.
