“…Indeed, we provide extensive simulations to verify the performance metrics such as communication overhead, memory, and energy consumption. In the first set of simulations, we compare SKWN with EDDK and KMP, which are used also as baseline in order to make comparison with other schemes like LEAP+, SEHKM, and EAHKM …”

“…However, this scheme relies on Diffie‐Hellman algorithm for pairwise key establishment, which have a very expensive communication cost. Messai et al proposed energy aware hierarchical key management (EAHKM) to secure the cluster formation and ensure the key management in clustered WSNs. However, in EAHKM, each CH node has only the shared keys to secure communication with its members and has not a shared key with the other CHs to secure communication between them.…”

“…In this section, we present a comparative analysis of SKWN with respect to five existing schemes: LEAP+, one of the first schemes allowing to take advantages of the hierarchical topology of WSN, EDDK, which offers better performance compared with LEAP+, SEHKM, EAHKM, and KMP, the three most recent approaches that can take advantage of clustering.…”

Summary In the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), we are witnessing to an unprecedented data production because of the massive deployment of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Typically, a network of several hundred sensors is created to ensure the interactions between the cyber world and the physical world. Unfortunately, the intensive use of this kind of networks has raised several security issues. Indeed, many WSN‐based applications require secure communication in order to protect collected data. This security is generally ensured by encryption of communication between sensors, which requires the establishment of many cryptographic keys. Managing these keys, within a protocol, is an important task that guarantees the effectiveness of the security mechanism. The protocol should be intelligently adaptable not only to intrusion events but also to the security level needed by some applications. An efficient protocol optimizes also sensors energy and consequently increases the network life cycle. In this paper, we propose, a smart and dynamic key management scheme for hierarchical wireless sensor networks (SKWN). Our protocol offers three subschemes to deal with key establishment, key renewal, and new node integration. Regarding existing schemes, SKWN does not only provide reliable security mechanisms, but it also optimizes energy consumption and overheads related to the communication and memory usage. Furthermore, our approach relies on a machine learning approach to monitor the state of the network and decide the appropriate security level. We provide a formal approach and its implementation, together with simulations allowing to compare resources usage with respect to existing approaches.

“…This scheme is inspired for given less computation and overhead. Messai et al [33,34] proposed EAHKM for clustered sensor network, and it is a hierarchical key scheme for clustered sensor network. This scheme is also energy efficient but work only for hierarchical network and does not provide pairwise keys between nodes.…”

Recently, there have been exploratory growth in the research of wireless sensor network due to wide applications like health monitoring, environment monitoring, and urban traffic management. Sensor network applications have been used in habitat monitoring, border monitoring, health care, and military surveillance. In some applications, the security of these networks is very essential and need robust support. For a network, it is very important that node in the network trust each other and malicious node should be discarded. Cryptography techniques are normally used to secure the networks. Key plays a very important role in network security. Other aspects of security such as integrity, authentication, and confidentiality also depend on keys. In wireless sensor network, it is very difficult to manage the keys as this includes distribution of key, generation of new session key as per requirements, and renewal or revoke the keys in case of attacks. In this paper, we proposed a scalable and storage efficient key management scheme (SSEKMS) for wireless sensor networks that establish the three types of keys for the network: a network key that is shared by all the nodes in the network, a cluster key shared for a cluster, and pairwise key for each pair of nodes. We analysed the resiliency of the scheme (that is the probability of key compromise against the node capture) and compared it with other existing schemes. SSEKMS is a dynamic key management system that also supports the inclusion of the new node and refreshes the keys as per requirements.
