Doing simulations on the performance of a cryptographic algorithm, its key management system, and an IDS on WSN. Apart from the impact on energy, what should be measured to evaluate these algorithms?
You can measure the Memory footprint of the protocol and if possible computation time.Assuming ofcourse that you are using sound cryptography. This measures the protocol performance against established WSN constraints.
You should see the energy consumption cost since there is no use for an algorithm that secure the WSN but in the other hand make it last less. You have also to measure the false positive rate, i.e., the number of times that the your algorithm is able to identify a threat. From false positive rate you could finde sensibility and specificity as you can see in the paper: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10776-012-0179-z#page-1
Dear Anass Rghioui sir can you please send me the cryptographic algorithm code in tcl script under NS2 for WSN ? If you can send me at [email protected]
