Battery Attacks on Sensors

In the Internet of Things (IoT), a simple form of attack can try to deplete the energy available to operate the myriads of wireless sensor nodes that will be used. Some of these nodes will use batteries, while others may harvest ambient energy such as photovoltaic, or electromagnetic, or vibration based energy. Thus this paper tries to analyse the effect of such attacks on the energy life-time of such devices. We first briefly survey the types of attacks which aim at the nodes’ energy provisioning systems. Then we provide mathematical models that can be used to estimate the effect of attacks that attempt to deplete the energy system for nodes that use energy harvesting.
