“…However, inside every framework there are some KMS that are optimized to minimize the communication overhead, even reducing the amount of information exchanged to only the ID of a node. Some "key pool" KMS reduce the communication overhead by linking the contents of the "key chains" to the IDs of the nodes [MHH05]. Also, in certain mathematical frameworks, the IDs of the nodes will be used as an input for a function that will return the pairwise key: Polynomial-based key predistribution KMS calculate f (ID i , ID j ) = f (ID j , ID i ) (being f a bivariate polynomial) [LNL05], whereas Blom-based key predistribu-…”

Abstract. Wireless sensors are low power devices which are highly constrained in terms of computational capabilities, memory, and communication bandwidth. While battery life is their main limitation, they require considerable energy to communicate data. The latter is specially dramatic in underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN), where the acoustic transmission mechanisms are less reliable and more energydemanding. Saving in communication is thus the primary concern in underwater wireless sensors. With this constraint in mind, we argue that non-interactive identity-based key agreement built on pairings provides the best solution for key distribution in large UWSN when compared to the state of the art. At first glance this claim is surprising, since pairing computation is very demanding. Still, pairing-based non-interactive key establishment requires minimal communication and at the same time enjoys excellent properties when used for key distribution.

Wireless sensor networks are a challenging field of research when it comes to security issues. Using low cost sensor nodes with limited resources makes it difficult for cryptographic algorithms to function without impacting energy consumption and latency. In this paper, we focus on key management issues in multi-hop wireless sensor networks. These networks are easy to attack due to the open nature of the wireless medium. Intruders could try to penetrate the network, capture nodes or take control over particular nodes. In this context, it is important to revoke and renew keys that might be learned by malicious nodes. We propose several secure protocols for key revocation and key renewal based on symmetric encryption and elliptic curve cryptography. All protocols are secure, but have different security levels. Each proposed protocol is formally proven and analyzed using Scyther, an automatic verification tool for cryptographic protocols. For efficiency comparison sake, we implemented all protocols on real testbeds using TelosB motes and discussed their performances.

“…For static key management schemes, the network resilience against node capture can be further enhanced by using the key polynomials (as in [40]) or deployment location [20,38,39]. Examples of static key management schemes include [9,15,16,20,21,25,29,[37][38][39]41] and dynamic key management schemes are [10,24,42]. In [24], Eltoweissy et al [24] proposed a dynamic key management system, called exclusion-based system (EBS).…”

Several symmetric-key distribution mechanisms are proposed in the literature, but most of them are not scalable or they are vulnerable to a small number of captured nodes. In this paper, we propose a new dynamic random key establishment mechanism in large-scale distributed sensor networks, which supports deployment of sensor nodes in multiple phases. In the existing random key distribution schemes, nodes do not refresh their own keys, and thus, the keys in their key rings remain static throughout the lifetime of the network. One good property of our dynamic key distribution scheme is that the already deployed nodes in a deployment phase refresh their own keys in key rings before another deployment phase occurs. The strength of the proposed scheme is that it provides high resilience against node capture as compared to that for the other existing random key distribution schemes. Through analysis and simulation results, we show that our scheme achieves better network performances as compared to those for the existing random key distribution schemes. Finally, we propose an extended version of our scheme for practical usefulness to support high network connectivity and resilience against node capture.
