“…The scheme for pre-key distribution based on the prior deployment knowledge of the sensor nodes is discussed in [5]. New schemes for key management for confidential communication between node and its cluster head in hierarchical sensor networks is discussed in [1].These schemes exhibit better performance with some additional storage. Zia et al [6] have discussed secure triple-key management scheme.…”

Abstract-Strong cryptographic schemes are used for securing the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Even if a strong cipher is used for encryption/ decryption of messages in any form of WSN communication, if the key is compromised and it no longer remains secret, the security of the underlying network is compromised. Therefore key management schemes play a very vital role in the maintenance of security of any system. This paper deals with a secure key management scheme for the WSN which does not rely on a single key. Rather this scheme uses a combination of all key types like 'in-network generated keys', 'broadcasted keys' and 'pre-deployed keys' to come up with a robust keying mechanism for the WSN.

“…In [13], more complicated security designs are envisioned for secure sensor networks like non-group confidentiality (nodes outside cluster should not be able to decrypt messages within cluster), forward confidentiality (compromised nodes should not have keys to decrypt future messages) and backward confidentiality (new nodes should not have keys to decrypt previous messages). The paper assumes a safe period when secrets are established.…”

Abstract-In many Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), providing end to end secure communications between sensors and the sink is important for secure network management. While there have been many works devoted to hop by hop secure communications, the issue of end to end secure communications is largely ignored. In this paper, we design an end to end secure communication protocol in randomly deployed WSNs. Specifically, our protocol is based on a methodology called differentiated key pre-distribution. The core idea is to distribute different number of keys to different sensors to enhance the resilience of certain links. This feature is leveraged during routing, where nodes route through those links with higher resilience. Using rigorous theoretical analysis, we derive an expression for the quality of end to end secure communications, and use it to determine optimum protocol parameters. Extensive performance evaluation illustrates that our solutions can provide highly secure communications between sensor nodes and the sink in randomly deployed WSNs. We also provide detailed discussion on a potential attack (i.e. biased node capturing attack) to our solutions, and propose several countermeasures to this attack.
