Definition
Securing data aggregation is to protect data aggregation, one of basic primitives of sensor networks for communication efficiency, against security attacks such as eavesdropping and forging aggregated results.
Background
In-network data aggregation has been a widely adopted data-centric forwarding mechanism for sensor networks. With this mechanism, each sensor node aggregates the data that is generated by itself and that it is asked to be forwarded, and forwards only the aggregated result. Typical aggregation functions applied here include sum, average, max/min, median, histogram, and so on. By employing in-network data aggregation, the amount of data communicated in the network can be significantly reduced, which consequently decreases bandwidth consumption and energy depletion. Due to the open nature of wireless communication and the often untrusted (even hostile) deployment environment of sensor networks, data...
