Wireless Sensor Networks consists of sensor nodes that are networked in a surveillance area. Security is considered as one of the vital issues in the area of sensor networks. This work proposes an efficient scheme that deals with the availability of a mobile node for secure communication and introduces session time within which the secured secret key remains valid. The analysis and simulation results show that the performance of the proposed scheme is better than the existing schemes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
