Abstract
This paper proposes protocols for secure logging of events in sensor networks by gathering in a secure and reliable way all information at one central point. Not only the chronological order of logged events sent by the different sensors is guaranteed. Also modification, deletion, and addition of other data is made impossible. As proof of concept, we have designed a prototype of the gateway sensor on an FPGA platform.
