MIT4WSN - Multipath Intrusion Tolerant Routing for Wireless Sensor Networks

In this paper we present MIT4WSN a multipath redundant intrusiontolerant routing system for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). MIT4WSN is composed of two combined mechanisms working in two different levels. In the first level the WSN is organized into a multi-tree structure, with disjoint redundant multipath routes discovered and established between sensor nodes and multiple base stations. In a second layer the multiple base stations implement an intrusion tolerant environment supported by byzantine fault-tolerant consensus mechanisms. We evaluate the proposal using a WSN simulation environment. In the evaluations we also use integrated tools, allowing the hybrid integration and calibration of the simulation environment including real sensor nodes and base-stations implemented with raspberry-pi single board computers.
