Abstract
Evolving networks of wireless sensing nodes have many attractive applications. Localization, that is to determine the locations of sensor nodes, is a key enabler for many applications of sensor networks. As sensor networks move closer to extensive deployments, security becomes a major concern, resulting in a new demand for secure localization and location proving systems. In this paper, we propose a secure localization system based on a secure hop algorithm. A location verification system that allows the base station to verify the locations of sensor nodes is also presented. It prevents a node from falsifying reported location information. The evaluation of the secure localization system shows that the proposed scheme performs well under a range of scenarios tested and is resilient against an attacker creating incorrect location information in other nodes.
