....malignant platforms for distributed applications. First, even when programmers motives are pure, small bugs can cause worms to proliferate and grow more rapidly than desired and overwhelm the resources of a distributed remote execution system, as in fact occurred on the Internet in November 1988 [14]. Second, a subclass of worms, commonly known as viruses, no longer use legitimate remote execution interfaces to acquire a bounded number of nodes. Rather, they exploit bugs and loopholes and install themselves on machines where they are unwanted. They often try to grow without bound, attempting ....

....repeated. 9. VIRAL PROPAGATION A mote with a program sends it to neighbors, who install it and send it to their neighbors; this process continues until the program, having spread like a virus, retasks the network. Self propagating code is not a new mechanism; worms, whether adversarial [14] or cooperative [13] have been studied for some time. Dealing with the problem of propagating a consistent version a data onto a changing network of nodes is not new, either; peer to peer networks, such as PlanetP, do so [2] However, these e#orts were concerned with Internet systems; sensor ....
