In this paper we present SARA (Anonymous Overlay Routing Providing Sender And Receiver Anonymity), which enables sender, receiver and relationship anonymity using layered encryption and distributed traffic mixes, similar to a Chaumian Mix. Via IP-datagram service and address virtualization it is fully transparent to applications. Organized as structured Peer-To-Peer system, SARA is highly scalable and fault tolerant. In SARA each communication partner randomly selects a number of nodes from the overlay and concatenates them to an anonymous communication path. The sender selects the head of the path, the receiver builds the tail and publishes this information in the overlay network using an anonymous ID. Via this ID the sender retrieves the tail nodes of the path and concatenates both path section. Layered encryption hides the identities of the sender, receiver and the intermediate nodes. 5.

Most simulation efforts focus on protocol- and algorithm-level issues, thus depending on the right choice and configuration of models. However, as such models commonly neglect time dependent issues, many research challenges, like energy consumption and radio channel utilization still remain. In this article we present two new tools to model and analyze sensor networks: Avrora, a fast and accurate sensor network simulator, and AEON, a novel tool built on top of Avrora, to evaluate the energy consumption and to accurately predict the lifetime of sensor networks. Avrora is a highly scalable instruction-level simulator for sensor network programs. It simulates the execution of the program down to the level of individual clock cycles, a time quantum of about 135 ns. By incorporating state of the art simulation techniques, including an efficiently maintained event queue, fast-forward through sleep-time, and parallel simulation, it can simulate entire networks of nodes in real time. AEON's energy model is based on Avrora and makes use of the cycle accurate execution of sensor node applications for precise energy measurements. Due to limited energy resources, power consumption is a crucial characteristic of sensor networks. AEON uses accurate measurements of node current draw and the execution of real code to enable accurate prediction of the actual power consumption of sensor nodes. Consequently, it prevents erroneous assumptions on node and network lifetime. Moreover, our detailed energy model allows to compare different low power and energy aware approaches in terms of energy efficiency. Thus, it enables a highly precise estimation of the overall lifetime of a sensor network.

T-DHTs do not rely on location information and work even in the presence of voids in the network. Using a virtual coordinate system, we construct a distributed hash table which is strongly oriented to the underlying network topology. Thus, adjacent areas in the hash table commonly have a direct link in the network. Routing in the T-DHT guarantees reachability and introduces low hop-overhead compared with the shortest path.

Although recent research focuses strongly on energy aware applications and operating systems, power consumption is still a limiting factor. Once sensor nodes are deployed, it is challenging and sometimes even impossible to change batteries. As a result, erroneous lifetime prediction causes high costs and may render a sensor network useless, before its purpose is fulfilled. In this paper we present AEON, a novel evaluation tool to quantitatively predict power consumption of sensor nodes and whole sensor networks. Our energy model, based on measurements of node current draw and the execution of real code, enables accurate prediction of the actual power consumption of sensor nodes. Consequently, preventing erroneous assumptions on node and network lifetime. Moreover, our detailed energy model allows to compare different low power and energy aware approaches in terms of energy efficiency.
