Abstract
Security analysis of networked computing systems continues to present a challenge. The growing complexity of network and computing systems, the increasing sophistication of computer attacks, and the limited supply of security specialist make automated security solutions a necessity. A number of independent solutions are often suggested for a system and then implemented as independent sensors. Little work has been done in fusing sensor outputs in a meaningful way in order to recognize an attack in progress in time to mitigate its impact.

Power-Efficient Direct-Voting Assurance for Data Fusion in Wireless Sensor Networks
Data fusion, in which collected data are fused before they are sent to the base station, is usually implemented over the wireless sensor network. Since a sensor is typically placed in locations that are accessible to malicious attackers, information ...
