“…However, the establishment and maintenance of three different types of keys which are network key, group key and pair wise key increases the memory consumption as well as computational overhead of each ordinary sensor node. A hierarchical KMS that employs identity-based encryption (IBE), has been proposed in [17]. The proposed scheme converts a WSN in the form of distributed flat architecture into the hierarchical architecture before applying KMS which is based on Boneh-Franklin and Diffie-Hellman (DH) algorithms.…”

Secure data transmission within the wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a critical issue as they are mostly deployed in the open areas. Moreover, the communication between the cluster head (CH) and the base station (BS) in a hierarchical WSN is required to be more secure since the CH is responsible for data collection, aggregation and its forwarding to the BS. Thus, this paper aims to design a hybrid key management scheme (KMS) for the hierarchical WSNs for enhancing security between the CH and BS by using some asymmetric cryptographic technique while applying the secret key based communication among the member nodes to reduce their computational overheads. The security analysis of our proposed scheme exhibits its robustness against the node capture attack and its ability to support the node revocation. The performances of proposed scheme are also evaluated in term of data freshness, average number of keys established, throughput and computational cost to demonstrate its efficiency.

“…Utilizing asymmetric cryptographic schemes [3][4][5] is considered impractical as they require extensive computation and large storage that are not suitable for implementation in sensors due to their inherit characteristics (i.e., limited memory, processing, and battery power). There are several approaches to designing secure key distribution schemes in WSNs.…”

Securing data transferred over a WSN is required to protect data from being compromised by attackers. Sensors in the WSN must share keys that are utilized to protect data transmitted between sensor nodes. There are several approaches introduced in the literature for key establishment in WSNs. Designing a key distribution/establishment scheme in WSNs is a challenging task due to the limited resources of sensor nodes. Polynomial-based key distribution schemes have been proposed in WSNs to provide a lightweight solution for resource-constraint devices. More importantly, polynomial-based schemes guarantee that a pairwise key exists between two sensors in the WSNs. However, one problem associated with all polynomial-based approaches in WSNs is that they are vulnerable to sensor capture attacks. Specifically, the attacker can compromise the security of the entire network by capturing a fixed number of sensors. In this paper, we propose a novel polynomial-based scheme with a probabilistic security feature that effectively reduces the security risk of sensor-captured attacks and requires minimal memory and computation overhead. Furthermore, our design can be extended to provide hierarchical key management to support data aggregation in WSNs.
