Technological advancements due to Moore’s law have led to the proliferation of complex wireless sensor network (WSN) domains. One commonality across all WSN domains is the need ...
—Monitoring personal locations with a potentially untrusted server poses privacy threats to the monitored individuals. To this end, we propose a privacy-preserving location monit...
We consider the important problem of energy balanced data propagation in wireless sensor networks and we extend and generalize previous works by allowing adaptive energy assignment...
