AgriAuth: Sensor collaboration and corroboration for data confidence in smart farms

Abstract

This paper envisions cyber-farm systems along the lines of cyber-physical systems. It is imperative for corporates and nations to maintain health of the crops to ensure food security. In order to avoid any adversarial attack on agriculture sensors in farms, we propose a collaborative sensing based authentication protocol. It assures that the spoofing and tampering can be detected with high probability. The data collected from the experimental deployment of sensor nodes supports the solution proposed by the paper.
