A Research of Improving the EG Key Pre-Distribution Scheme Based on the Hash Function and the Multi-Path Routing

Abstract:

The EG scheme also had some shortcomings: the node could not resist attack effectively, and only one routing path was used during the communication. To solve these problems, this scheme proposed to use the multi-path routing to replace the one routing, and the pairwise key was established after the hash function. The connectivity of the system was improved by the multi-path routing, if one routing path was broken, there were also some other alternative paths. Due to the hash function, the attackers could not get any useful information. So the proposed scheme can not only develop the connectivity of the WSNs, but also improve the security of the system.
