A New Relaxation Labeling Architecture for Secure Localization in Sensor Networks

In this paper, a new strategy is proposed to defend against colluding malicious nodes in a sensor network. The new strategy is based on a new relaxation labeling algorithm to classify nodes into benign or malicious ones. Only reports from benign nodes can then be used to perform localization and obtain accurate results. Experimental results based on simulations and field experiments illustrate the performance of the algorithm.
