Abstract:In recent years, wireless sensor networks have been adopted in various areas of daily life, and this exposes the network data and hardware to a number of security threats. Many key management schemes have been proposed to secure the communications among nodes, for instance the popular LEAP+ protocol. This paper proposes an enhanced variant of the LEAP+ protocol that decreases the key setup time through the reduction of the number of packets exchanged. This improves the security of communications. The results o… Show more
