Abstract :
Push protocols are attractive for WSNs if sensor information is expected to be sent frequently. However, node compromise and changing routes in a WSN pose a security challenge in the design of a push service as the service may be misused for path-based denial of service (PDoS) attacks. In this paper, we propose push protocols resilient against PDoS attacks which also cope with the dynamics of WSNs.
