Modeling and Analysis of Information Security Threats in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

The paper presents results of analysis of information security threats in wireless sensor networks and means for their modeling. Research subject. The subject of the research is means for modeling and analyzing information security threats to wireless sensor networks. Method. The work uses methods of mathematical modeling and system analysis. Core results. The analysis of actual threats to information security of wireless sensor networks is performed. A comparative analysis of means for simulation modeling of wireless sensor networks and attacking influences is performed. Two models of presentation of wireless sensor networks are proposed for solving the problems of threat modeling. Practical significance. The results of the work can be used for modeling and evaluation of security of complex wireless sensor networks with a large number of nodes in conditions of organizational complexity of using full-featured instances of wireless sensor networks to solve information security problems.
