Actuator Networks (WSANs), a special type of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Since WSANs have specific network constraints and data transmission requirements compared to general ad hoc networks and other wireless/wired networks, we propose to seamlessly integrate WASN security with a ripple

. Kilavi platform is intended for low-power and low data rate autonomous communication between sensors and actuators. Network master with plenty of storage and computation capacity manages network routing, cluster formation and security procedures. This centralized approach shifts network load away from

Per has in a seemingly easy way spotted erroneous assumptions, has valued my research contributions, and has connected my own work with another broader world of research. I want to thank all colleagues in the Networked

Abstract: Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are two recently-developed technologies that uniquely function without xed infrastructure support, and sense at scales, resolutions, and durations previously not possible. While both offer great potential in many
