ABSTRACT

Wireless sensor networks are continually exposed to different types of attacks, but the most devastating ones are those that target the base station since this critical device is responsible for collecting and analyzing all the traffic generated in the network. Therefore, protecting the location of the base station is essential for the integrity and survivability of the network. Besides its importance for the physical protection of the network, the location of the base station is strategically critical because it is usually housed in a highly relevant facility.
