A Novel Key Management Scheme for Cluster Based Wireless Sensors Networks

Abstract:

WSN comprise of large number of sensor nodes with different hardware abilities and functions. Due to the limited memory resources and energy constraints, complex security algorithms cannot be used in sensor networks. Therefore, it is necessary to well balance between the security level and the associated energy consumption overhead to mitigate the security risks. In this paper, we present A Novel Key Management Scheme for Cluster Based Wireless Sensors Networks (NKMS). The security analysis demonstrates that NKMS is an effective solution to the key management of cluster based wireless sensor networks.
