Solving Secure Problems for Wireless Sensor Networks Using Clustering and OKS

Abstract:

A secure scheme for wireless sensor network is presented through dividing sensing area into clusters and using the overlap key sharing (OKS) concept in this paper. The two-dimensional sensing square is divided into a number of small squares called cells, four of which consist of a cluster called logical group. The overlap key sharing protocol creates long bit clusters as the key cluster pools and distributes a sub-group to store every sensor as the key cluster. Analysis and comparison demonstrate this scheme enhances the WSN security, realizes the flexile secure grades for WSNs, and has good network connectivity.
