Redes sensores sem fio: aplicada em ambientes militares

Abstract

Lately technological advances in several areas was huge, especially in sensors areas. The ability to perform monitoring, control and make the taking of certain decisions, with no face computing, besides facilitating the lives of people allowed to exploring other areas where before human interaction was essential. The objective of this study is to show the performance of the sensor networks in military sector exploring the possibilities and showing positive and negative points. First an overview of the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) will be displayed. Then the security necessary for the application of sensor networks in an environment where confidentiality is key, will also be demonstrate. Vulnerabilities and attacks will be described and, finally, energy security and optimization of protocols and types of routes are displayed.
