A Packet Loss Tolerated Method for Data Integrity Protection in Wireless Sensor Networks

Among existing watermarking methods for data integrity protection in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the problem of packet loss has not been considered. Most of methods treat packet loss as anomaly attacks, hardly being used in real network. The paper proposes a packet loss tolerated method for data integrity protection in wireless sensor networks based on double-level watermarking and threshold control. Sensory data collected by nodes generate digital watermarking for integrity detection. Watermarking will be stored in sensory data. The network will have watermarking verification and packet loss rate analysis in the sink to ensure data integrity. Through the experiment in real sensor network, this method can effectively protect data integrity with low power.
