Hardware Implementation of Security Algorithms in Sensor Networks using Mica2 Motes

About

My research is on programming wireless sensors, Mica2 Motes, to make them work in a multi-hop ad-hoc network. The Mica2 Motes consist of a 900Mhz wireless interface and any suitable sensors, i.e. light, temperature, microphone… They can be programmed using TinyOS which includes a cross-compiler for the embedded processor on the mote, and various other utilities to use the motes effectively. TinyOS can run in cygwin on windows or on Linux. Readings taken from the sensors can be manipulated in various ways before being sent wirelessly over to any number of recipients. The motes also have Relative Signal Strength Indicators which shows how far away a recipient mote is over the wireless network.
