Connectivity Based Secure Cooperative Localization Scheme for Wireless Sensor Network

Localization is one of the important areas of concern in wireless sensor networks. Effectiveness of any localization approach is based on the accuracy in determining the position of the nodes that are unaware about their position in the area of their deployment. One of the prime factors that play its part is the security of the localization approach so that it reduces or diminishes the effect of various attacks on the localization process. So this paper conveys a new approach for secure localization based on the authentication of the nodes that assists in location determination along with the consideration of mobility of nodes as one of the prime factor.
