An Energy-Efficient Security Node-Based Key Management Protocol for WSN

Article Preview

Abstract:

A security node-based key management protocol is proposed for cluster-based sensor networks. Member nodes and cluster heads are responsible for data collection and transmission. Security nodes are responsible for key management. Security nodes restrain key management function of cluster heads, and reduce damage of captured cluster heads. Generation of security nodes and different kinds of keys is described. Performance analysis and simulation show that the proposed key management protocol consumes less energy, and its delay time of key generation is short. At the same time, the protocol can provide more collaborative authentication security for keys. It has strong resilience against node capture, and can support large scale network.
