A Survey on Cluster-Based Group Key Agreement Protocols for WSNs

A Survey on Wireless Sensor Networks Security with the Integration of Clustering and Keying Techniques

“…Therefore there should be a group key management scheme to provide these functionalities [16]. CBKAP proto-cols are more efficient than pairwise key establishment schemes for WSNs because devices do not waste energy every time they wish to communicate with another de-vice by establishing a new shared secret key.…”

“…Use of clustering technique, is one of the answers for efficient resource management [16]. In case of a large-scale environment and time critical applications, clustering technique is more suitable [16], [17].…”

“…In case of a large-scale environment and time critical applications, clustering technique is more suitable [16], [17]. This technique can also be used in one-to-many, many-to-one and even one-to-all communications.…”

“…There are different methods by which the bootstrapping problems can be solved. One of these methods uses the random deployment model which does not use the pre deployment phase to deploy the sensor nodes [16]. On the other hand some keying technique uses all the above three phases to establish a secure communication channel [16], [17].…”

Efficient Clustering Technique for Cooperative Wireless Sensor Network

“…The clustering operation enhances the energy efficiency of WSN by several folds thus it has always been a crucial issue in WSN research [3]. Several efficient clustering techniques exists for standard WSN configuration (single input single output (SISO) WSN) in which the transceivers have single antenna and each transmission is independently accomplished.…”
