AWISSENET

AWISSENET stands for Ad-hoc personal area network & WIreless Sensor SEcure NETwork. It is an Information & Communication Technologies (ICT) project co-funded under EU's seventh framework (FP7) focusing on security and resilience across AWSN networks. The project’s official kick off was on January 2008 and its duration set to 26 months. The AWISSENET participant list includes 8 members spanning the industrial, academic and research domain.

Project Motivation

Ad-hoc Personal Area Networks and Wireless Sensor Networks (AWSN) are expected to form an integral part of the foreseen ubiquity intelligent, future mobile network and are envisaged to play a key role in offering mobile, personalised services, whenever and wherever needed, while supporting applications with broadband, wireless connectivity anytime and anywhere. Driven by this vision, AWISSENET project focuses on issues related to security and resilience across AWSN networks seeking to identify related issues and limitations as well as devise optimizations for a scalable, secure and context-aware networking.

AWISSENET complements existing research carried out under the FP6 (SEVECOM, MAGNET, ) and aims to deliver answers to as yet unsolved problems and products long needed for the commercialisation of ad-hoc sensor networks, such as a prototyped protocol toolbox.
