A Key-Management Scheme for Distributed Sensor Networks

by Laurent Eschenauer, Virgil D. Gligor - In Proceedings of the 9th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security , 2002
"... Distributed Sensor Networks (DSNs) are ad-hoc mobile networks that include sensor nodes with limited computation and communication capabilities. DSNs are dynamic in the sense that they allow addition and deletion of sensor nodes after deployment to grow the network or replace failing and unreliable ..."

Random Key Predistribution Schemes for Sensor Networks”,

by Haowen Chan , Adrian Perrig , Dawn Song - IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy, , 2003
"... Abstract Efficient key distribution is the basis for providing secure communication, a necessary requirement for many emerging sensor network applications. Many applications require authentic and secret communication among neighboring sensor nodes. However, establishing keys for secure communicatio ..."
Abstract - Cited by 832 (12 self) - Add to MetaCart
communication among neighboring sensor nodes in a sensor network is a challenging problem, due to the scale of sensor nets, the limited computation and communication resources of sensors, their deployment in hostile environments yet their lack of tamper-resistant hardware. The limited computation resources

Establishing Pairwise Keys in Distributed Sensor Networks

by Donggang Liu, Peng Ning , 2003
"... Pairwise key establishment is a fundamental security service in sensor networks; it enables sensor nodes to communicate securely with each other using cryptographic techniques. However, due to the resource constraints on sensors, it is infeasible to use traditional key management techniques such as ..."

Earthquake Shakes Twitter Users: Real-time Event Detection by Social Sensors

by Takeshi Sakaki, Makoto Okazaki, Yutaka Matsuo - In Proceedings of the Nineteenth International WWW Conference (WWW2010). ACM , 2010
"... Twitter, a popular microblogging service, has received much attention recently. An important characteristic of Twitter is its real-time nature. For example, when an earthquake occurs, people make many Twitter posts (tweets) related to the earthquake, which enables detection of earthquake occurrence ..."

Subsequently, we produce a probabilistic spatiotemporal model for the target event that can find the center and the trajectory of the event location. We consider each Twitter user as a sensor and apply Kalman filtering and particle filtering
