Abstract

One of the important application domain of sensor network is monitoring a region and/or tracking a target. In such type of applications, the location of the source node tracking that target is very important. At the same time, if the location of the node currently tracking the target is captured by an adversary then that target may fall into a difficult situation. In this chapter, a solution to source location privacy with the help of Ant Colony Optimization is proposed. The idea of pheromone level is normally used to find out the shortest path between the source node and the base station that to minimize the energy consumption of the networks. The pheromone level of the ants is used here to guide the ants to follow different paths to hide the source location from adversaries who uses traffic analysis to capture the source node.
