Analysis of Key Distribution Schemes in Wireless Sensor Networks, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Aref, Mohammad Reza (Supervisor)
Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are comprised of small sensor nodes with very limitedstorage, power and computational capabilities. The nodes in wireless sensor networks should be able to communicate with each other in order to accumulate information and to relay it to a base station in a secure manner. Since this communication often takes place in a hostile environment, encryption and/or authentication should be used. This requires the establishment of secure keys between the sensor nodes in the WSN. The constraints of such a lightweight distributed computing environment lend itself to the use of symmetric cryptography to provide security services. The lack of central infrastructure after...
