Abstract :
This paper describes the security threats against Wireless Sensor Networks, which are very useful in remote environment monitoring. We analyze two trust models (μRacer and k-FTM) which can be used to handle the possible vulnerabilities to various potential attacks. We evaluate these two models by implementing them in TinyOS and testing them using TOSSIM and then determine which of them is faster and more useful.
