The 2012 IEEE International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing
(UIC 2012)
Session Chair: Laurence Yang, St. Francis Xavier Univ., Canada
Keynote Talk 3: Trust Management and Privacy Preservation in Wireless and Sensor
Networks
Wanlei Zhou (Deakin University, Australia)
Summary:
Because of the wireless transmission requirement and the self-organizing nature of its architecture for a
Wireless and Sensor Network (WSN), the trust management and privacy protection for WSNs have become
an especially challenging problem. In this talk, we analyze current threats and attacks in WSNs and survey
state-of-the-art trust management and privacy protection schemes in WSNs. Then we classify and describe
trust management schemes into two aspects in secure routing and secure data, respectively and privacy
protection schemes into data-oriented and context-oriented privacy, respectively. Finally we try to present a
clear direction to design and construction of trust mechanisms and privacy protection techniques in WSNs
and discuss some interesting and challenging open issues on this topic.
About the keynote speaker
Professor Wanlei Zhou received the B.Eng (Computer Science and Engineering) and
M.Eng (Computer Science and Engineering) degrees from Harbin Institute of
Technology, Harbin, China in 1982 and 1984, respectively, and the PhD degree from
The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia, in 1991. He also received a
DSc degree (a higher Doctorate degree) from Deakin University in 2002 for his
substantial contribution to knowledge and authoritative standing・in the field of
distributed computing. He is currently the Chair Professor in Information Technology
and Head of School, School of Information Technology, Deakin University. Before
joining Deakin University, Professor Zhou served as a system programmer in HP at
Massachusetts, USA; a lecturer in Monash University, Melbourne, Australia; and a lecturer in National
University of Singapore, Singapore. His research interests include theory and practical issues of building
distributed systems, security and reliability of computer networks, bioinformatics, and e-learning. Professor
Zhou has published more than 200 papers in refereed international journals and refereed international
conferences proceedings and has edited 5 books and authored 1 book. He has also chaired a number of
international conferences. Prof Zhou is a Senior Member of the IEEE.
