Security Solution For Man-in-the-Browser Attacks

A security solution developed by Cronto that protects against Man-in-the-Browser attacks, one of the most serious threats to online banking customers, and which is responsible for millions in annual losses to the banking sector, is being rolled out across Europe…

Energy Management in Wireless Sensor Networks

Energy management has been a consistent problem in wireless sensor network (WSN). According to MG Murshed a researcher at the University of Aberdeen, UK “One of the most significant challenges for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is long-lived sensor nodes and…

How Real Is The World Of Wireless Sensor Networks?

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are providing remarkable benefit for a number of industries. The ability to add remote sensing points, without the cost of running wires, results in numerous benefits including energy, security and material savings, process improvements, labor savings,…

Wireless Sensor Networks To Help Electrical Sub-stations

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have not only become an attractive solution for low power implementations and embedded systems but also for the Power transmission and distribution. Research is ongoing to develop an innovative power source to facilitate the running of…

Engineers Uncover Novel Wireless Brain Sensor

Engineers at Brown University in the United States of America have developed a novel wireless, broadband, rechargeable and fully implantable brain sensor that has performed well when tested more than a year with animal models. This is a major breakthrough…

Footballers to Wear Sensors

Fabrice Muamba, a 24-year-old professional soccer player in Britain playing for Bolton Wanderers, collapsed during a game last year after suffering cardiac arrest. He’s now up and walking but no more playing football. A 27-year-old Indian soccer player, Venkatesh Dhanraj…

Sensing Roles and Interactions using Mobile Phones

Traditional sensing applications have been limited to the collection of environmental data such as weather conditions or pollution levels. The availability of personal ubiquitous technologies, such as smart mobile phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) enables a much richer set…

Can You Trust Your Car?

Wireless systems are being integrated into modern automobile. However, the security and privacy implication of those systems are not well understood as many of their communication protocols are proprietary.  New anti-theft technologies have made today’s cars much harder to steal,…

Understanding Bacterial Sensors – The Future of WSN nodes

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) may have become an attractive solution for low power implementations and embedded systems. In this magazine we have shown by examples how WSN applications and its usage can span from critical physical infrastructure to historical buildings, structural…

The Creation of WSN-based GENESI

WSN-based systems for structural health monitoring could be the answer to the many dramatic events involving the collapse of public structures and private buildings. A system that is unavailable in today’s trend and that will be able to provide long…
