TY - JOUR ID - citeulike:3873182 L3 - citeulike-article-id:3873182 N2 - In sensor networks, secure localization—determining sensors' locations in a hostile, untrusted environment—is a challenging, but very important, problem that has not yet been addressed effectively. This paper presents an attack-tolerant localization protocol, called Verification for Iterative Localization (VeIL), under which sensors cooperatively safeguard the localization service. By exploiting the high spatiotemporal correlation existing between adjacent nodes, VeIL realizes (a) adaptive management of a profile for normal localization behavior, and (b) distributed detection of false locations advertised by attackers by comparing them against the profile of normal behavior.
