A Survey on Secure Localization in Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are shaping many activities in our society, as they have become the epitome of pervasive technology. WSNs have an endless array of potential applications in both military and civilian applications, including robotic land-mine detection, battlefield surveillance, target tracking, environmental monitoring, wildfire detection, and traffic regulation, to name just a few. One common feature shared by all of these critical applications is the vitality of sensor location. The core function of a WSN is to detect and report events which can be meaningfully assimilated and responded to only if the accurate location of the event is known. Also, in any WSN, the location information of nodes plays a vital role in understanding the application context. There are three visible advantages of knowing the location information of sensor nodes. First, location information is needed to identify the location of an event of interest. For instance, the location
