Synopsis
Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2017 in the subject Electrotechnology, grade: PhD, course: Doctor of Philosophy, language: English, abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is fast emerging as prominent study area that attracting considerable research attention globally. The field has seen tremendous development in design and development of application related interfaces with sensor networks. Sensor network finds applications in several domains such as medical, military, home networks, space and so on. Many researchers strongly believe that WSNs can become as important as the internet in the near future. Just as the internet allows access to digital information anywhere, WSNs could easily provide remote interaction with the physical world. It is going to be the backbone of Ubiquitous Computing (UBICOMP).Through local collaboration among sensors, elimination of duplicate data, participation of relevant nodes in the given task etc. can produce a significant difference in energy conservation, thereby increasing the life time of the sensor network. As the number of nodes increases, data security becomes the most challenging part of the network. The intruders can hack the data any time during processing, transmission or at the receiver end. So, as a popular approach data encryption is the most commendable approach in today's network. Asymmetric key encryption consumes more energy in processing and so not recommended for WSNs. Symmetric key encryption gives better performance with respect to asymmetric key encryption in WSN applications. It uses less computational power due to relatively effortless mathematical operations, and eventually spends less power. This thesis also proposes a symmetric data encryption through Tabulation method of Boolean function reductionfor the WSNs for secure data transmission. It also suggests a new secure approach, SEEMd, Security Enabled Energy Efficient Middleware algorithmfor the critical data sensing and gives a second ch
About the Author
PERSONAL SUMMARY I am Linoy A Tharakan, presently working as Associate Professor with the Department of Computer Applications at Mar Thoma Institute of Information Technology, Kollam, Kerala. I obtained my B.Sc in Electronics from the University of Kerala and M.Sc in Electronics from Barkatullah University. I have my PhD in Electronics from Bharathiyar University on the topic Wireless sensor networking and Power management. I also have to my credit, 8international publications in reputed Journals, 10 national publications in magazines and 5 international presentations. I enjoy working with students and have served as Softskill and Lifeskill trainer as well as Placement coordinator. I never leave out avenues where I can share my knowledge and skill-sets with others because I believe that knowledge grows when you share it with others. As a passionate academicians who wants to bring about a significant change in the society through my research studies.
