Modelling attacks in self-organizing wireless sensor networks of smart cities

Abstract

Abstract Nowadays self-organizing wireless sensor networks for solving the problems of arranging operational processes in smart city systems are becoming rapidly developed and widespread. Such networks are used to collect and aggregate data from physical sensors of devices as well as for its processing and transmission over the network in conditions of time-varying loading characteristics of the communication channels, changing location of devices and their operating modes. The paper discloses an approach to modeling and analysis of attacks aimed at compromising devices, data and services of smart city systems built on the basis of self-organizing wireless sensor networks.
