Abstract :
The maintenance of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) can carry high or prohibitive costs, particularly, if the WSN is deployed in unattended areas. Secure monitoring and control of the WSN is vital, however, practical systems are rare and limited with respect to their capabilities. We present a monitoring and control system for WSNs that is secure and additionally equipped with intrusion detection functionality. It allows to reliably assess the actual status of the network, to configure the sensor nodes, and to further use this data to highlight suspicious events.
