Experimental Study on Secure Data Collection in Vehicular Sensor Networks

Abstract. In this paper, we show through a simple secure symmetric key based protocol design and its implementation the feasibility of secure data collection in a vehicular sensor networks. We demonstrate that the protocol works in a realistic setting by collecting the real trace data through real implementation. Some of the key considerations are efficiency, deployability and security. The protocol does not safeguard against some of the techniques an adversary could deploy, such as jamming and deliberate battery-draining.
